Dr. Ellie Sattler played by Laura Dern (Mask, October Sky) is a Paleo-botanist (study of fossilized plants) and girlfriend to Dr. Alan Grant. As they both accept the invitation to Hammond's preserve, she is one of the first to realize that there were dangerous plants around the park itself-"you pick them because they look nice" It was certainly preface to what was ahead. During the park tour, they stumble upon a sick Triceratops. Dr. Sattler decides to split up with the rest of the group in order to stay back with Dr. Harding and care for the Trike. Her separation from the rest was ideal because she became the "go-to" woman and single handedly went to the power shed and turned on the park's fences manually while escaping from a hungry Velociraptor.

Alright, well I’m sitting in the parking lot warming up the car today. I rev the engine in park and only see a max of about 4000 RPM, while I felt an assload of torque from the engine. It basically felt like the engine was going to hit the hood of the car. It’ll get to 4000 RPM and then you’ll hear something to the effect of not enough air, so like it’s not going through the muffler correctly? I don’t know. Now I sit here searching for an answer for the reason that may happen. I noticed a few days ago that while driving I couldn’t pass 4000 RPM will out feeling something weird. Suggestions?

My thoughts are that:

  1. There is not enough air getting into the engine as the RPMs increase.
  2. It could also be the air filter, fuel filter.
  3. The exhaust itself is 3″ instead of 2.5″ as on most V6 Firebird/Camaro’s creating bad back-pressure.
  4. All this speculation above leads me to think it just needs a larger intake vavle (but possible fail NJ emission tests if I do that)?
  5. At worst it would be the transmission or the engine-block themselves. But lets hope not.

In all, this car does require a tune up when I find time to take it to a shop. Maybe that’ll take care of it? It’s unable to take the full force of the engine so it drops? Eh. I’m lost. Almost as bad as E&M.

Ouch

I own the car for 2 days and I have to say driving with it down the Turnpike is fucking fun. It’s when you go up to Fort Lee or down to Rutgers that driving it begins to suck because the roads fucking suck. Trying to avoid the pot holes is no easy task because either way you go there is another dip waiting for you.
