WITH the filter AND a good sticker or two I'd say about 178.3 hp to the wheels...give or take 178.3 hp to the wheels!!

So 178.3 to 356.6?

Sounds about right. Is this a mustang dyno?

Thanks!

Actually if you leave the oil and oil filter out it will be less weight and add a ton more horsepower!

For the best performance stroll down to your local Kmart and pick up a couple of bottles of ZMax and Royal Purple. Forget buying a real filter. Take that Mountain Dew can you just sucked dry, pack it full of paper towels and tape it on. If you're really wanting to go all out pick up a few cans of dayglo spraypaint and as many stickers as you can afford and you'll have an easy 200hp to the wheels. Then you'll be like, dang.

you have a valid point. What's the guarantee I can add to my 576 HP though?

Let's think about this for a sec, Justin. Why would somebody guarantee a HP estimate? Hmmm, very interesting. Here's the way I see it, Justin. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on an estimate 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside. Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right?



The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.



At the end of the day they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of . That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about taking a quality estimate from me.
