It's shiney emblems too!

The car in the pic may be Mojo's. His car was a test platform a few years back....and I believe he removed some of the performance enhancers provided in that kit.. I could be wrong about it being Mojos; however, my mad math skilz tell me that the rockers, intake, exhaust, stickers and tuner.....are good for 330 which is less than 40 claimed for intake....hmmmmmmmmm.

How about 13hp for $110? (Same magazine, but they actually tell you that KN Filter did nothing, so did 160 thermostat and adjustable fuel pump/regulator).

What does a tune add?

I put on K&N open lid intake, smooth bellow, 52mm throttle body, Power Programmer,adjustable fule reg, MSD coil 8mm wires, cooler thermostat, and I'll be happy if it makes 20 more.

Without cracking the engine open/forcing induction you won't get big gains.

Now the D44 conversion 3:45 I did, that did Wayyyyyyyyyy more.
