Anybody believe this? Anyone recreated this in the REAL world?

In the hands of one hell of a tuner maybe, but I see this as mere propaganda on Car Crafts part. Let me know what you think.

This is OLD..........

It has been around for a long time.

It was done on an engine dyno with no accessories. No imagine it through a drivetrain (15-18% loss), then add power steering, a/c, smog pump, water pump, alternator, and see what kind of HP you get.

In all honesty, it should make more

+1

And it may have been a generous dyno, so who knows.
