One of my plastic valve stem caps lost it's top, so I took the opportunity to pick up the C5 logo caps, explaining to my wife how they were "better" than the plain ones . My question is this, how much RWHP are these good for? How about BSHP??

Depends on what you put in your tire. Helium will lighter up your car by 50 pounds or so, which would roughly equal a 200hp increase.(dropping from low earth orbit).

Do your stickers say "NAWS" or "NOS" because "NAWS" brand solenoids flow better!

Git urself some of that winter air and mix it with the NAWS. I know it's close to summer, but trust me, I have the track slips to prove it!!
