Horsepower BS
Just got a new catalogue with the following bolt ons:
Mass Air Flow Housing 9
Cold Air Induction 20
Grantelli MAF Sensor 15
Air Foil 12
Fuel Pressure Kit 10
Replacement Air Pump Pully 20
Max Performance Chip 50
Flowmaster Exhaust 70
Total 206
I got so excited I talked to my ricer buddy, Mr. Onehung Low,
who suggested the following:
2 10" fart cans @ 40 each 80
1 10' wing @ 10 per ft 100
4 V Tech stickers @ 5 ea 20
4 glue on scoops @ 15 ea 60
Total rice 260
Wow, imagine if I add heads, cam, NOS and blower!

Re: Horsepower BS (skidmark)
I'm not taking a shot at any particular parts supplier...but there is one that I think needs to give it's head a shake with the catalogue. Every stupid little piece of expensive junk has a 5-20 HP gain attached to it.
Note to the owners, we're not buying it...but I'm also not MAD about it :D

File a flight plan for your engine first so you don't have to deal with the FAA.

Re: Horsepower BS (skidmark)
What do you mean V-Tech stickers don't work? I was hoping for at least 5HP each. Does this mean I'm gonna have to cancel my order for light-up valve caps and neon shifter ****?
