$1750 for 6.5 HP, a story of rice....

scott93gt · 04-12-2005, 07:23 AM

I was actually amazed that they aired it as well. Right before the dyno test I made a guess that the car would make 15-20 more HP. I laughed when it only made 6.5 HP. The guy who was hosting the show demonstrated the exhaust by revving the thing to the rev limiter several times. I'm no expert but that can't be good for your engine, especially if it isn't warmed up. It did confirm what I had suspected, small engine CID, small HP gains when you start adding bolt-on equipment. (unless it is NOS or a turbo or supercharger).

I saw the episode where the car actually lost hp too. As far as gaining a measly 6.5whp, that's a gain of about 6%. To do that on say a 2002GT, that would take about 13whp. Something you might expect to see from the modifications they made to the import. Thing is, the 2002GT's modifications probably would have set you back far less money, I'd guess less than 50%.
