totally agree
Well guys, you wouldn't believe this, but I just put some wd-40 on my acces. belt and it freed up like at least 10 hp. Or so it felt like. I think tonight I'm goin top off the brake light fluid and grease the antenna for better reception and less air resistance. I bet it would pick up .1 in the qtr. Maybe even put in new muffler bearings, the old ones are causing too much backpressure.
Like you I'm kinda gettin tired of all this magazine ad. hp sh1t. If I beleived what the ads say I'd have over 300 hp at the crank, riiiight. Hell you can't blame em, some people on here seek professional help to install underdrives pulleys, so how could they comprehend that the pulleys could never give them 15 ponies like the neat little ads says they do. Before the flamethrowers get broke out, usually the people that know very little about vehicle performance are the ones to spout off about how they gained "like" huge amounts of hp from some meager bolt-on.
