HP...

I didn't say 10HP... I said 10RWHP! And that is NOTICEABLE...
especially since you can get it that gain for $40 with a GT take-off
muffler... Multiple people at multiple shops have shown this gain on

???? Tires don't make that big of a difference... not on an S197 V6
until you address other suspension issues... like the extra mushy
stock springs and shocks... and lack of a rear sway bar in non-pony
package V6's...

That is very true... most over hyped product i've found so far is some
of the CAI and the crank UD Pulley...
