I was in training for a new job and this required me to be away from home Monday through Friday. Since the hotel only got 20 channels I was forced to watch some guy do a "build up" of a Honda on the Learning Channel (I think that is what channel it was). He spent $1750 in total (parts only) for a new computer, cold air kit, and "throaty" exhaust system. The car dyno tested at 106 HP before modifications and 111.5 HP after modifications. He actually said that you could "feel the pull" of the extra ponies. I laughed and thought about how many HP you could get from a V8 for $1750. What are these people thinking?
