5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
"ENGINE MODS:I have a special carbon fiber fabricated short ram intake,secret air induction upgrade boosting my car to 355 HP,more upgrades coming soon."
"Im planning major mods on this car in the next few months.My car is pushin 355HP already, from some secret mods I did in the engine.Ill have some videos,pics,and dyno results to prove my horsepower in a few weeks."
"I WANNA CREATE A CAR MEET TO GET TEAM MEMBERS IN MY CAR CREW...((IF U JOIN THEN I CAN ADD ANOTHER 60HP TO UR CAR))...I WANT ONLY TOYOTA,LEXUS,SCION...TOYOTA TRUCKS WELCOME.LOOKING TO MEET NEW FRIENDS...DRINK,SMOKE,HAVE A GOOD TIME.SHOW OFF UR CARS,CAR MEETS,RACING,BARBECUES...Etc. I WANT INFO ON A CLUB NAME??"
West Covina isn't too far from where I live... but this guy is absolutely out of his mind if he thinks he's pushin' 355 without forced induction.
This is part of the reason I hate the car scene in SoCal... sure, there's a good number of cars done in good taste... but there are a billion and 1 posers everywhere... like this guy.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
BTW guys, I added a black liscence plate frame... I now make 600 horsepower to the wheels... see the dyno below... Sorry for the shitty quality, my scanner isn't that good...
If I knew this guy personally, I'd probably have to laugh in his face for making outrageous claims... he technically could be making 355... with nitrous... in that case, wave bye bye to his tranny... But I doubt he has nitrous, a turbo, or an SC which as white3ch0c0late said, he would need if he wanted 355.
Although lets give him the benefit of the doubt... for a second...
Lets say he knows nothing about cars.. MAYBE... MAYBE he bought an intake, and we've all seen the marketing job these companies pull "up to 25 more hp with this intake!!!" Which any normal person knows is more like 2-5... if that. So then he gets his "special intake mod"...
Which is probably a "tornado" intake insert, or some other BS like that, which claims another 25 HP... or better yet, the infamous $10 20 HP Boost "chip" from ebay...
So if he has a V6, and you do the "math" right, he could POSSIBLY think he is making 355 hp...
But back to reality, I think he's an ass hat.

Thats what one of my friends did back in high school, he added up all the "claimed" horsepower with little mods. He said he got like 20hp from the intake, 5hp from grounding the battery better, cleaning the engine, you name it.
I doubt it.....from what I see what been done so far, he is not a "performance" guy. He is more of a "show" guy like me:
All Show No Go
At least I upgraded my interior with an JL amps and 4 JBL speakers, lol

Sounds like a load of crap. On page 2 he says "NEW(I GOT SOME CARBON FIBER SIDE DOOR PANNELS AND ALSO MY GAS COVER)nothing special until i get the carbon fiber hood and trunk...ill be getting the hood soon."
But the picture he has posted there only shows the window pillars. And the carbon fibre material looks like a sticker anyway.

I didn't know this secret.....Damn, I don't need to whine and cry about upgrading to V6.
I'll just install 2 chips...that will get me close to the V6 hp.
This mod alone will give me all the power I ever dream of.
V6 guys, you better watchout...Here I come!!!
On second thought, I just stay away from those chips...he.he.he
