on standard 4cylinder production engines, the cars have a single throttle body(throttle plate). however, you can purchase 4 individual throttle bodies, one for each cylinder, that way each cylinder has its own air feed as such, rather than sharing plenum with the other cylinders. the old...

ok rite, ive always been led to believe, that for an engine to perfrom well, it needs a certain amount of back pressure to operate well, give good fuel economy. and that by decreasing back pressure, the engine loses torque, etc. having been reading up on it on the web, ive seen sites saying...

if you want better emissions from your beast, maybe a bit more power, then you need an oil catch tank. on normal engines, the crnak case emissions are fed directly back into the engine to be burnt off. but this contaisn oil fumes, which clog up the inlet tracts and coats the pistons in oily...
