We were referring to ratings, hence flywheel. All cars lose horsepower to the wheels.

You can't tune those chips. They do not set up the cars. That's BS.

Where did I say anything about tuning the chip?

DMAN302 pretty much clarified what I meant. I agree with what everyone is saying, stop reading so much into the manufacture’s numbers. By your guys’ logic, you can have a 300 rwhp mustang with U/Ds, exhaust and CAI.

I went back and edited what I said. Meant to take that part out. At first I thought you said they tuned the chips to get more power. I was about to let you have it then. Thankfully, I reread what you said.

ok but this is the thing.... a friend of mine has a 2000 grand am GT....He swears its a race car lol. He had flowmasters, i had flowmasters, i took him by about two car lengths in a 1/4 mile. Then he removed his airbox and put a k&N in and SWORE he could beat me now lol.... And i now had all of the mods stated earlier.... I took him by about 9 car lengths in a 1/4 mile this time... and i have many witnesses... so there was obviously a lot of improvement

oh and my response for stang2814... dont call me an idiot for wantin to learn more bout my car. The guy i bought my chip from said it made a huge difference... so if a guy wit a stang telles me that ima believe it.. The cold air was the very first mod i did when i knew absolutely nothing about 5.0s.. and im not sayin i have 400 hp... yea right i was thinking maybe 235-240hp at best... See im from northern california where everyone is into little hondas and acuras and that import **** so i have nobody to talk to bout these things

Why? With equal drivers the 4.6 should be quicker.
