I'm shopping power pipes and came across this dyno graph showing a 54 HP increase from head porting...but, wait until we read the fine print...turns out they put in a new shortblock, TB, and headers too!

It would be nice if they'd do one car with ONLY the different heads, and not changing anything else.

You dummy, you're not supposed to read the fine print, lol. But that's the way it goes with advertising. Be glad you caught it. There's a reason why they say "Let the buyer beware".

I think it was just an average customers car and not a dedicated "project car" to dyno test a product. We should be greatfull they included the fine print, most places don't... I'm still waiting for the 25 HP from my mufflers, 15 HP from my K&N and 20 HP from my headers [Eek!]
