It is the most common answear you see for having poor numbers.
How come no one was having those problems 2-3 years ago

I just find it quite funny with all these post about adjusting the valve lash etc

then tubular K members come out... everyone is now getting a tubular k member to save 40lbs of weight off of a car whos stock k member weighs 35.2lbs

then i do a writeup on LCA angle... and people who didnt even know what relocation brackets were before i made a lil gif animation, are now giveing chassis setup advice.

they all just follow whatevers the popular "in" thing at the moment, and dont even know it.

True. Managing a performance shop I have guys argue with me about stuff all the time. They get all their info off the internet then when I tell them they're wrong because I've actually DONE IT firsthand they think I don't know what I'm talking about. Like the F-body guys that think long tube headers are automatically better than shorties in any setup, despite the fact that I've personally seen cars lose power with longtube headers vs. shorties on the dyno. Or the truck guys that come in and have to have a throttle body spacer on their port fuel injected truck because their buddy got one and "noticed a big difference". Or the kids with Mustangs that come in and want dual 3" exhaust on their stock fox-body because some guy on the internet told them it would make the most power.

Car guys like to have other people think they know it all.

That's the biggest bandwagon by far out there.
