probably not, I dont belive the hp estimates/times of sellers unless they have proof of it. you know kinda like the 8sec 1/4 rare 500hp crx everyone trying to collect.

all cobra engines are hand built and a tune wont give you 50hp its a good deal, hp numbers are way off but u wont be disappointed in the power it makes already
