I am hoping they at least cook them in the coal oven first and reheat in LA. The coal oven gives a unique flavor/texture to the crust.
This seems more like marketing for JetBlue than a viable source for NY pizza in LA.

Aquafina was bottled new york tap water wasn't it? Problem solved!

I've got some philly cheesesteaks to sell you btw.

I bought a boomerang from a ghost. I just know it's going to come back to haunt me.

If an impact gun is rated to break 950 ftlbs is it also able to torque to that level?

Depends on the gun. Some have equal F/R ratings, some have a higher reverse rating than forward.

sixshooter 05-11-2018 03:55 PM

And I'm sure it depends on air pressure. Most are rated at 90 lb but I tend to run my stuff up around 130 or 140 because I'm trying to destroy everything.

Today I learned: A resonator can also be called, A 'Spark Arrestor'.


A spark arrester (sometimes spark arrestor) is any device which prevents the emission of flammable debris from combustion sources, such as internal combustion engines, fireplaces, and wood burning stoves.

Spark arresters play a critical role in the prevention of wildland fire and ignition of explosive atmospheres. Consequently, their use is required by law in many jurisdictions worldwide.
So, riddle me this... Lets say, I would like to change out my full FRS exhaust to a 3" system that would include 3 resonators AND wouldn't mind burbles and fire spitting out the rear. Will I possibly be preventing this from happening? 3 Resonators as configured (2 in front pipe, 1 in cat-back), is mainly to cut out highway drone and give the exhaust a low deep ubaru tone/rumble. No cats will be harmed or included in the full exhaust. :likecat:

Thoughts?

My gun doesn't appear to torque as high as my half inch breaker bar and significant portion of my body weight. Porsche 9xx models spec 340 ftlbs for the axle nut.

I would not use an impact gun to torque anything.
That's just wrong.

m2cupcar 05-12-2018 03:12 PM

I wasn't - but I don't own anything that can measure torque that high. Checked my impact gun and it claimed to break 900ftlbs, therefore I wondered if it would do the same in the other direction. Local Porsche specialist told me tight as f@ck works.

Typically, impact guns of the model you own are rated for between 2% and 400% of their stated reverse-torque in the forward direction.




Seriously, man, this is like asking "how heavy is a rock? "

If you follow AvE's videos, he has addressed this very topic at least a few times.

Yeah, I think hi_im_sean covered that.

I asked because the adjuster appears to adjust the power in both directions. The manual only lists "Maximum Torque" but not tightening or loosening. It's the original ½" earthquake #2623 that a few here have- like sixshooter and ZX-tex.

Mine appears to generate full power in loosening and moderated power in forward based upon the selector. I don't ever use it past level 3 of 5 for tightening anything, even truck lug nuts.

3" are raspy and LOUD NA. The rumble comes from having a UEL header.

If I still had mine and were planning on staying NA, I would likely do as follows.

JDL UEL header
JDL quiet front pipe
Dezod or JDL cat-back.

The use of the "-style" as it pertains to pizza is reserved only for every other pizza. NY pizza is just "pizza."

I think my wife may be leaving me because I'm paranoid and insecure.



Edit: Nevermind, she was just getting the mail.

NY Pizza = floppy, sub par, grease fest.

If you take the back cover off the expose the porting into the vane chamber, you can tell that way, if its that important to you. If the inlet is centered (180* from the outlet) then its same tq f/r. If offset either direction, then unequal f/r rating. usually reverse has the higher rating. The side with the inlet closer to the outlet will have less torque.

Maybe? I tried 4-5 different places in lower Manhattan, don't ask me to remember the names one of those trips was 12 years ago, all were essentially the same.
