No, I'm guessing more like 230-235RWHP at best.

Yeah man, it sucks. I could be wrong, but similar guys are only putting down at the wheels5-10 more. I would say at best 240.Like I said, could be wrong, but people will respond to this quick, just wait a few minutes.

Bolt ons suck for the 2 valves. My 4 cylinder Acura I had before the stang made 12whp from a Cold Air Intake alone.

Did you actually have your acura on a dyno. You can't go by what the manufacturer states. I believe it's been brought up before, but they consider the total whp gain from the whole band of rpms. For instance, from 1500-2200 you gained 2 over stock trend line, and from like 3000-4200 you gained 3 over stock trend...in their claim they would say it gained 5 whp when in fact it wasn't 5 at all. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty confident in what I'm tellin you. If not, please all, feel free to correct.

My previous car was a RSX type S with a cold air intake. My friend had the same car as mine and we both bought the same intake upgrade. He took his car to a local shop here in Austin called MGW and he dynoed 12whp over stock.

I was thinking of the same thing. I did not realize that these motors respond that poorly to bolt ons. I assumed they would do a lot better than a few ponies.

id say between 240-245 if your trying to say from those mods that your only going to gain 5 horse then i might as well just sell my car now and stop wasting my money because that is rediculous it has to be more then just 5 more rwhp
