i don't know about the grooves either.. but from what people have told me.. it's been used a bit in the domestic tuning area..

oddly.. shaped.. heads.. whatever... i dunno... either way... the guy who did it on that engine.... yea. i don't think that was the right way to do it anyway..

The right way to do it? No.
Did it help? No.
Did it create hot spots? Yes.
Did he ruin the head doing it? Yes.

An 02 Eclipse GT Spyder can run 16.65.

The slowest GSX I found on dragtimes.com was a 15.00.

I just... I don't understand. Why are people regarding these guys as tuning gods, when they can't, just... ugh, they can't even build a GSX that lasts more than a day without something blowing up, and even when it does run, it's slower than an Eclipse GT.

It must be nice to be monumentally ignorant.

This is actually disturbing me. I want to fly to Spain and stab this guy in the face.

I'm going to have nightmares about this.

^ I will help pay for your ticket. jk I think what was worse were all the people on youtube that thought this was the best thing ever. And this is what scares me when I see modded car at a dealer ship. Yeah it has the parts, but how were they installed?

I really want to stereotype Eclipse enthusiasts, but I won't.

I wonder what people said when it not only didn't pull 900whp and 10,000RPM, but blew the turbo right there on the dyno. Like, how do you find yourself saying "man, these guys are awesome!" after watching that?

Having your ____ not only fail to meet expectations, but fail altogether, does NOT make you a tuning legend.

I want to see the dyno chart, because I will put money down that it did not make the 350whp they said it did. No chart = No proof = my tc has 82 bajillion whp.

I just hope my engine build on the 240 this winter turns into this much of an occasion. I'm already stocking up on blue paint.
