>>>Also, don't forget the (very mislead) people
in the Speed Shops that will actually tell you that a K&N Filter (10hp) +
Headers (15hp) + CatBack (10hp) + Chip (10hp) + Pulleys (10hp) + MSD
(5hp) =
60hp. It just doesn't work that way. (Maybe 35-40hp...but not 60hp)<<<

it's terrible!! And the people who are the worst about it are the ricers.
I was watching Hot Rod TV and they said that they were gonna' get 35 hp
from an intake on an integra. Well, the bolted on exhaust, intake, wires,
N2O, and ignition and got 20 hp off the juice and 50 on the juice (and it
was a 100 hp shot). JUst goes to show... I mean, with all my mods, if I'd
gotten the advertised hp from em', I'd have damn near 250 ponies... I MAY
have 170... hhmmm..
