I just happened to be flipping through the MP catalog the other day and
I saw this package. I'm dissapointed as to the claimed horsepower improvement.
I've seen claims for the 3" Gibson cat-back in the 20-30HP range, about 20HP
for Doug Thorley headers, 10HP for an air filter, 25-30HP for the computer.
I have no idea what the camshaft might give you, but with the items above,
we're already up to 60-70HP. What gives?
For all that stuff, I would have expected more than 46HP...
