How to Get 15 Extra HP

Post by Action » Wed Nov 10, 2021 2:50 pm

A guy was waiting for me to come out of Lowe's yesterday, so he could talk about my HMMWV. He said he used to work on these in the military. He asked if I had an electrical box here (I thought he was pointing towards the PCB). I said yes. He said if I unplug it, I will get 15 extra horse power, and the computer will be put into combat mode. I guess he was talking about the time delay module. I just said, wow thats cool. :? I told him I don't have that box, and that my fan is different. He seemed to think I didn't know what I was talking about.

Or remove 3000 lbs of armor for more hp and more jeep-ness.

The fan sucks out about 10 HP but by removing the TDR the fan will be engaged all the time sucking that power in addition to the horrendous noise it makes. Anyone who's driven one of these trucks knows what happens when the fan kicks in.

Action... Paint it Ferrari red. That's good for at least 10 hp.
