Can you really feel 5-10hp?
I think that's the point moc is trying to make, which brings up an interesting question: How much power does it take to to "feel" the difference?
I would say it depends on the driver and how well they know their car.
For instance, I could add gears, exhaust, TB, pulleys, intake and heads to my stock '88GT and my g/f would never know the difference except for it would be a little bit louder.
Nother against her but she's just not into car/engines and wouldn't notice anything. She thinks it's too fast now.
Again, I'm not trying to flame you but just putting in a different perspective.
Some people are more/less sensitive to changes in their cars.

Lol, my girlfriend would'nt notice either, sorry, just thought that was funny, i installed some 1.7 rockers, id say they gave 10 hp i could feel, 5 hp i doubt i could feel, g'f didnt know the difference, i have the asp crank pulley, steeda waterpump, and stock alt pulley, i saw no gain, maybe on the mph in the 1/4 but only half a mph at best, still good for peace of mind, i found that my ugly huge stock one was missing a bolt, i was able to correct that with a whole new pulley
