RE: I NEED SOEM HELP WITH MY HP
Most of the advertised hp gains are on forced induction applications where they gain more hp than a N/A car with mods. Also stock rwhp could be as low as 220 depending on the car. You are most likely around 280-290 rwhp with all your mods though.

Manufactures always rate their products to more then what they are. The reason they do so is because people will buy them expecting that gain, but they will not be getting it. Also what brand is the exhaust? O/R or catted mid pipe? I don't see this adding up to 2k, maybe 1500-1700 but it depends on what you bought.

You cant go by what the manufactures of the product say on hp. They only way if u need to find out is get your car on the dyno. Every aftermarket product on everyone elses car is gonna be different.

theblkstang99 just a hint, when u are figuring RWHP and BHP, use .12 to figure power lost through a manual tranny.
i.e. your car. 290bhp x .12 = 34.8hp lost. 290-34.8 = 255.2 RWHP. Get it dynoed and prove me wrong.

Are u guys smokin crack? This car has nothing close to 270rwhp. Remember Jdaniels GT that had 26x to the wheels with every mod know to man? Theres no way he went from 225 to 270 with Fullexhaust and CIA with a tune. U guys are getting into full bolt on hp here. If he had cams, i could believe it, but this is just crazy. I say he puts down 258hp on a dynojet. Dont get his hopes up. If someone tells him hes got 275 to the wheels, **** hes beating stock mach 1's and 96-98 cobras. I say no way.
