People do some dumb ****. A guy at the track weekend before last had a whippled S197. Claimed to be dynoed at 550 rwhp, stock internals. He has been deployed for awhile, so the car had pretty much been sitting. He said he had never had it on a track and had no idea what to expect. Basically, the boy got his hands on enough $$$ to buy himself a Whipple, and slapped that **** on. I wished him luck, what else can you do, lol.

your eyes are glued shut if you think the car in the video is packing 550WHP on stock internals...
I said it before and I'll say it again... a car that puts 2+ cars on another car in a single gear tells me all I need to know about the car that got beat
and if you want to believe that the whippled car is @ 550WHP on a stock block that is up to you... I also have this bridge for sale
(awaiting the "It's been done" argument)

it matters for the simple fact I believe bolton talks up the cars he races into some amazing supercars to make his car look faster than what it is... and in reality they make a lot less power
kind of like not mentioning a bottle....
but I'm not getting into it with bolton again... general consensus is "you can't fix stupid" in that regard

I came to the conclusion, he uses the bottle on the street only, not at the track. That way, it makes his car look faster, by keeping up with cars making 100+ RWHP more than his. That's just me...hahaha.

hmm 553hp 553tq? interesting... usually don't see that.. maybe the guy was guessing what his bhp should be and he has no idea so just spouted off some numbers? that way ppl dont think that a new camaro with 425hp is nearly as fast as his 450rwhp car
