Default GT on Horsepower TV

My neighbor calls me yesterday morning and tells me to tune into the Spike channel. On Horsepower TV they had a new GT they were working on. First they installed a K&N CAI which made approximately 10hp on the dyno if I remember correctly. Then they threw on the Flowmaster A/T exhaust kit which made another 5hp surprisingly. Lastly they installed a Zex NOS kit which added 75hp but could be adjusted for more. I was pretty surprised to see the exhaust added power since everyone says axelbacks dont do anything. The K&N seemed pretty wimpy. Defintely going with something a little better than 10hp!

Yah they were trying to do it for as cheap as they could... spending the extra money is worth it for sure the k and n does an adequate job but slap a c and l with a tune and some borlas now were talkin

Those shows are tricky sometimes they will show you all you can do for sooo cheap but they forget to add in the little details that will cost you.
