Hey guys,
What can we do to our cars, without going the route of forced induction to increase low-end torque that our small 4-bangers lack?

NAAAAAAWWWWWWSSSSSSSS.

I dunno. I think that's the holy grail.

Switching to methanol? Or how about those turbo boosters that Knight Rider used to have.

"Michael....you know you shouldn't be going this fast... Michael?"

Germans love David Hasselhof!

 

i never realized this but the voice of knight rider's car is Mr. Feeny from that one show boy meets world...

 

Your right, I've always noticed that Mr.Feeney's voice was just like KIT's in Night Rider. Good observation Type Goch. Man I loved that show and the TA.

TA? yeah it was a pretty cool show. I think they still show it once in a while. While we're still talking about early 90's shows...Remember McGyver? man i loved that.

 

Man I loved both Knight Rider and McGyver. When I was naughty as a kid my parents would not let me watch them as punishment, it was the only thing that worked......

McGyver kinda lost it in the end but the early stuff was

Ya those were some good shows back when I was a kid. I remember I got to sit in KIT on time at a car show when I was about 8.

well at universal studios here in california, i think they had KIT on display but no touching. BUT they had the A-Team van that we can touch and stuff! haha. A-team wasnt all that bad either.

 

B.A. Baracus....."I said BE THERE!". Remember the ol' NBC commercials with Mr. T? Mr. T was cool.

 

hehe. Mr. T was always a favorite.

 

What happened to all the good shows Knightrider, A team, Mac Gyver, ALF hehe

Now we have all this crap like survivor

 

Alf?!?hahahaha....i agree...all the shows these days are crap, except for The Simpsons nobody can knock that one.

 

About the original question - Increasing the compression should help out with torque but I'm not sure exactly how much improvement you'll see. Depends on how high you go and what other mods you have.

 

well if your car is mostly in high-end...why would you need so much Low end?

 

I feel you... those were some of the greats.

When I was a kid, I only cared about sesame street, the a team, knigh trider and ofcourse, who could forget VOLTRON! That was the s@#T.

 

How bout Thundercats or He-Man?

 

Hey Type Goch,
TA stands for the Trans Am. Man I miss all these shows. They were the best; Night Rider, McGyver, Thundercats, A-Team, the vintage Batman especially, and not but not least; Alvin and the Chipmunks LOL !

To stay of the subject, Did you know the actor Screech on saved by the bell is brothers with Mike Diamond (Mike D) of the Beastie Boys.
There is also suppose to be a new Knight Rider series coming out with "Mr. Feeney" as KITS voice again and David Hasselhof sp? is going to be the head of KNIGHT INDUSTRYS
