Thomas Chong and Cheech Marin return to write and star in this
American comedy sequel. Cheech (Marin) works as a delivery man for
a Hollywood studio, but is constantly put in hot water by the
antics of his unemployed, stoner friend Chong (Chong). After Cheech
is inevitably fired from his job, the pair introduce themselves to
welfare officer Donna (Evelyn Guerrero), hang out with Cheech's
cousin and attempt to find alternative means of income. A massage
parlour and the living room of a wealthy family are just two of the
locations descending into chaos after a visit from the hapless
pair.
The use of nitrous oxide as a chemical supercharger has been
extremely popular since the 80s, and technology advancements have
been making it easier and safer to work with it ever since. Author
Bob McClurg reviews the latest and greatest advancements in
engineering and readily available equipment for adding liquid power
to any engine.
He discusses the often-mystical subject of nitrous oxide
injection systems with a level head and a clear purpose. This book
educates on the properties of nitrous oxide and most-effective way
to design, install, and tune complete systems. A definite focus on
safety and a need to answer the typical questions associated with
the use of nitrous oxide is highlighted, and several complete
installations are featured.
McClurg's vast experience brings authority to the pages, and he
worked extensively with many of the pioneers of nitrous oxide
injection systems to deliver a comprehensive review of what it
takes to choose, install, and tune a system for the best-possible
performance. The photos in this edition are in black and white.
The supercharger and turbocharger in their various forms and
applications have both been around for well over a century. What
makes them so popular? Looks, power, performance, sound, and
status. And how do they relate to, and improve upon, the
performance level of a small-block Ford pushrod V-8 engine like a
289-302, a 351-Windsor, a Ford 351-Cleveland, or even the latest
generation 4.6L/5.4L "modular" small-block V-8 engines? That's
EXACTLY what this book is all about While Ford dabbled in
supercharging and turbocharging on production cars all the way back
in 1957 with the legendary Thunderbird, and then again with Shelbys
and over-the-counter kits, and then again in the late '70s and
early '80s with turbocharging 4-cylinder applications in Mustangs
and SHOs, the real revolution in supercharging and turbocharging
Ford products has come through the aftermarket in more recent
times. The Fox Mustang, created in 1979, and the platform that
would eventually feature fuel injection in 1986, allowing much more
boost, created a genre of lightning-quick and affordable
performance cars. Featuring legendary supercharger and turbocharger
manufacturers like Paxton, Vortech, Pro-Charger, Garret-AirResearch
and Power Dyne, as well as traditional Roots-style systems, this
book covers everything you need to know about supercharging and
turbocharging your small-block Ford.
