holy smokes!

well, i decided to get a little stupid today. i was bored so i went to the local radioshack. i bought a pack of 47k Resitors. i plugged one in, and HOLY CRAP at the smoke. it idled a little rough, but not bad, and no CEL! this is with a Bully Dog Power Pup tuner and a dirty air filter and the 47K. give it a try if you wanna make lots of smoke. it ran like a scalded dog too. but, after gettin in it when u let off it lopes. so, after covering the local mall entrance i switched it to a 22k. but, it'll be nice when i wanna goof around.

i would suggest not trying it, in theory that kind of resistnace in the icp would boost oil psi in the thousands. if the pump for some reason didnt overtax or bleed past 4000 psi than you could have an oil line rupture on seriously damage your injectors
