No offense, but all of you forumla freaks, some times things break the odds, a heater core is really more efficent than you thing and no bull**** i am making 25 at the wheels, my buddies stock s-10 4 cyclinder made 15 hp and 1.5 tenths at the track! People i am not making this up!

I prefer the term 'engineer'.

and since when did .15s on a 17-18s truck equal 15hp? I dropped .6s off my base line of 19.1 once by unbolting the exhaust, and running a short pulley. Does that mean I gained 60hp!?! F*(% NO. That very general rule only holds true for 12-13s cars.
Check out this calculator if you don't beleive me: http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm
looks like .15s on a 17-18s car is ~3-4 hp. Now look up to my above post....

assuming isobaric cooling of 15*F with an ambient temp of 86, you are gainning 3%. 3hp. Thats IF the core provides no restriction.

very interesting..... notice that I didn't even edit that post. The little bit of extra gain is from removing the air box.

Ok so I will ask what people ask of me when they doubt what I am saying.
Lets see the timeslips and dyno sheets!
Post them up, and if you can not I am sure thee are people here (myself included) that will help you post them.

I had to bring this one back.

Seriously man, you can barely type engrish, and a .15s gain on a 18 second car could completly have to do with the temperature of the day, and if the driver got a lucky launch. obvsiously your not doing an actual dyno, your doing the 10hp = .1s claim. obviously my 16.3 second to 15.0 second timeslip after I changed the plugs and wires must mean I have an additional 80hp by a plug change, or it could be that I just learned to drive the car better and got a 2.2 second 60' compared to a 3.0 60'. and the plugs and wires really didn't do ****.
