The Edelbrock was a 80HP shoot sorry it is a bit hard to read. But Edelbrock is a big wast of $$$, look only 57.1ft-lbs and the NOS was up 130.3ft-lbs with only a 100HP shot so that is a much better gain. Edelbrock says 80hp gain at the wheel and they fell just short of that. 92HP gain for the NOS kit, that is well over 100HP at the wheel. Hey Skyman Did you get the Edelbrock Kit i see it is a 80 shot?????
Do the bolt on make that big of diffance?????

If they'd put both systems on the same car and tested than I'd believe the results. I've seen tests where a BBK throttle body added 8hp to a 99 GT and I've seen the same BBK throttle body add 0hp on another test car, apples to oranges.

So you think they would both be about the same?????
