A friend told me if I add "performance" stickers to my Jeep that it will boost my HP. I thought it was odd but oh well. So I put a Summit Racing sticker on my rear window. No improvement, so I added a FlowMaster and Borla sticker to my rear window. Maybe, but I couldn't tell. Am I doing something wrong? My neons and my shift light and strobes I think added gas mileage so why aren't my stickers? To date I have, Summit, FlowMaster, Borla, K&N, Bondo, GReddy, PaceSetter, 4WD, Gibson, Fear This, Chevy Bow Tie, Ford Oval, Japanese symbol for Honda. I am running out of window space. What am I doing wrong???!!!??? I am gonna get some neon window washer squirters and a light up shift nob to see if that helps.
Thanx in advance, and werd, peace...
Almost forgot, anyone ever put on a 5 in Chrome exhaust tip? I am wondering if it will rub when I am doing hardcore stuff.
it really depends on the stickers co-efficet for drag over slipperyness-- if its coated with gloss, the vehicle will stream faster through air....put enough stickers on...you`ll go faster!
wax works better.
I prefer the long stickers--mounted horizonal on the right side, but verticle on the left...I go around the world to the left, and the drag caused by the left side stikers helps me in the turns....saves in tire wear too!
the problem is clearly WHICH stickers you have on there! From your list, I see you have 4 different exhaust manufacturers stickers. They are effectively "cancelling" each other out.
Also, stickers applied to painted surfaces have more power than those applied to glass. I think it has to do with demonstrating more of a "commitment" by the owner (harder to get them off paint), but I'm not 100% sure.
and i think your jeep is hurt by the fact that you have chevy, ford, and honda stickers on it. so if anything, it's gonna put less power out just out of spite.
Ok, so I just pulled off 3 exhaust stickers. I just have the FlowMaster sticker now. Also, I used a heat gun so not to damage the stickers when I pulled them. This way I can put them on my garden tractor. It bogs in high grass so I think they will help. I put the stickers from the windows to the painted surface. No HP gain, just gas mileage. I am gonna further investigate this.
Anyone ever put on a 23 inch wing? I am thinking it will help my hill climbing ability off-road.
There was one around here w/ that wing, don't do it, I just got off probation for bi7c4 slappin the crap outta that clown with the wing after ripping it off his top! And I got lucky they never caught me for what I did the last time I saw a 5" chrome exhaust tip on a Jeep, lets just say that guy wasn't sitting right for a long time! :flipoff:
a 23 incher?...naaaa, go with a 40 with turndown sides...make it adjustable from inside the cab- that way, as you run down the road you can make the car "lighter" or "heavier"....heavy for turns, light for straightaways....and real light for hillclimbs.
adding LEDs to the leading top edge will heat the air before it comes across the wing, leaveing the cooler ,denser air underneath for extra lift.
and dont forget to add 2 stickers to each side! cant have any drag on the sides, or its fubar...it just wont work!
I use lightweight air in the tires myself- through a hepa filter first of corse.
I wonder...if I took a few of those 8in parabolic fog lights, hollowed it out-took the glass off- and put a hose on the back...and ran it up to the air filter...HA! foglight supercharger!
I`m gonna go hammer that sucker hollow right now! I got spare water hose in the backyard! its bound to produce
+25HP...or more!!
then i`ll figure out where to put one of those tornado things so the air will "twist"...shoot, theres another 20HP there!
Just wait till the decals get put on theses parts! were talkin a 500hp raceing machine!
How about those stickers that are like bullet holes? It may not make your rig go faster but what the hell more air getting into the engine somehow. Or perhaps one of those stickers that looks like a giant scratch. That cheeses a lot of people off because the sticker residue leaves a film on the paint.
I just got some ceramic muffler bearings, and I love em! http://www.kalecoauto.com/ This place is the hookup on all kinds of stuff. It's where I always get my blinker fluid. They just got adjustable powerbands, I wanna get one!
I think that I'm gonna pick up the engine oil bypass kit so I don't spend too much on the oil function. oil's overrated anyway right? oh and the radiatior insulator too...
I think Bruins needs some of those brass balls for his rig...anyone want to pitch in for a christmas gift???
Dude, it's been proven by numerous clinical trials that Summit Racing stickers don't work on Jeeps. They're specifically for baby Broncos. JEGS stickers are for jeeps. Also, you can't just lay the Jegs sticker over the Summit one. It will advance the timing too much and it will ping. Scrape off the Summit sticker and put the Jegs one in place of it. That should work - as long as it's not touching any other stickers.
I had both Jegs and Summit on mine, and your right, it was detonating. I figured maybe I'd get a smaller HKS and Greddy stickers to back the boost off a little, but it didn't help. I had to take the Summit sticker off, but I put on a NOS sticker so that should make up for the reduction in boost. Don't forget anything chrome or polished also adds power. I go by the general rule of 15 rwhp per 2 square feet of chrome. That's what it usually works out to be.
Just remember to always check to make sure the canooter valve is actuating the wobble shaft properly. Also make sure that you check the blinker fluid, if it is low, it will make turning slower. If you really want to go fast=I have seen the big and pretty 20" wheels on Wranglers, that has to increase the speed considerably.
