with the last car I tuned with a hose clamp.

I'm not joking, can anybody figure out how? No prize, just my approval of your ghetto-tuning skillz

I thought it was a hose to bypass the maf that you could change the diameter of with a hose clamp. But then it wouldn't be just a hose clamp. Nice, you're efficient!!

i agree with johann on the LM-1, we use it a JWT for everyday monitoring of our TT G35 and 350z and the thing is great, it has datalogging too. really nice product

nope, hose clamp on the fuel return line, the restriction upps the rail pressure. I was at a drag race and I needed to increase fuel delivery but I didn't have an adjustable regulator but I had a clamp and a screwdriver. First run I had it too tight and the car was bucking and spitting fire. Kawasaki-san(HKS driver) actually gave me crap about it asking me "mike-san are your spark plugs bad"?I got it right on the next run, scweet!
