If I go with Silicone hose, I should never have to replace them again. Isn't that right? I can also use a color of my choice for all the vacuum hoses so that I can easily tell things apart in the engine bay. I figured I'd use yellow or orange for all vacuum hoses. Having this kind of easy color-coding will help me "trace" things, I think.
Re: cams - Can you point me to anything that would show me the differences between the K & D cams? I'm NOT looking to get to 300hp or anything crazy. I'd just like to improve low-end acceleration. I'm thinking that if I got things up close to 160/180hp, that'd make a huge improvement. 200hp is about as high as I'd want to go. I'd like to avoid any major changes, so I want to stick with D-Jet and what it will limit me to. I don't consider milling heads or a different cam to be a change, just a modification - maybe because those things are all contained inside the engine. Replacing D-Jet with MS would be a change, in my opinion, and I'd rather put that off until I HAVE to because of parts unavailability or similar reason. My "primary" car is a '99 Taurus with 200hp (not an SHO), and that really feels like the right amount of power for a sedan, to me. Of course, I like more power, but super high hp is really low on my "what I want from my car" list.
I'm also kind of thinking that there's power my car isn't making right now that it should be. What should I check to make sure that it's putting out all it should? People insist that Seafoaming the engine will restore lost power. What about that?
