Sometimes there is more difference to a mod than just horse power gains.

Yeah, I realize that. I was just tugging on his short and curlys. It just sounded funny that he stated that he felt the difference that it made. I mean if it makes 1hp on a Bullitt, what do you think it makes on a lesser GT?….you can make more power than that with just a few degree’s drop in air temperature. I think a lot of people mistake the sound of the extra rush of air it makes entering the intake track, with real world horsepower gains. Same goes for a muffler swap, CAI, spark plug changes, or even setting the TPS sensors on the old 5.0L’s and so forth. If the manufacture claims in makes horsepower on the box and your car sounds meaner, most are fooled into thinking it makes a difference. Hell, I’ve seen people convinced that a particular mod made piles of horsepower, just because they dropped a pile of money on it.
