      By breaking the blocks into smaller pieces you can change the curve of the torque and where it crosses. The formula is simple it's

      BxR/2 = X

      B being the size of the ice, cubed
      R being the idle RPM
      and X being the RPM where the torque crosses the HP line.

      Hope this helped with your awesome idea!

        Since your car is a V6 it should work fine, but BMW pushrods are weak and you might blow the welds on your intake.

          I thought the German coil over plug was better than cheap chinese distributors?

                  You'll need more then a crotch rocket to catch Toretto.

                    unless the crotch rockets are running dry ice

                      I use a nitrous kit but with a CO2 fire extinguisher instead of a nitrous bottle. Its cheap and there was so much power my engine got confused and shut off

                        I'd be worried about redbull tho.. too much sugar and caffeine. unless they have organic decaf redbull; i'm down for that. it's probably cheaper than a can of seafoam.


                        it works with auto guise, j make shure you dubble clutch like you should!

                              I make sure my gas tank holds pressure and I drop some dry ice into it. That way it makes the gasoline more dense. One time my fuel pump went out but I didn't notice cuz the pressure in the tank kept pushing the gas through the lines. Worked like a charm.
