No offense, but having people guestimate your Horse Power is going to be very misleading, you could have leaks somewhere in the block, or the compression on the pistions might be low etc. There are just too many variables in trying to determine the outcome. Like my stock GS comes with 140hp and 130lbs of torque as we all know. But when I dyno'd my car with a Ebay cold air intake, and Rusty Greddy EVO 2 cat back, I got 141hp, and 121lbs of torque.

Sorry man just take it to a dyno. No one will be able to give you true numbers, without knowing the other variables.

That's also known as "bench racing", which will get this thread closed as soon as a moderator reads it.

Besides those numbers are crank horse not wheel horse. In reality you are only starting out with 110 horse, 90 ft/lbs of torque to the wheels.

wow 141 whp with just a cai and exhaust? damn can you say factory freak?

oh yeah this thread is retarded, you must have missed this

No "bench racing". Bench racing is defined as posting hypothetical questions to try and see how fast or how powerful your car is, or will be. If you want to know what time to expect at the track, whether or not your car can beat another specified car, or how much power it will have with a particular modification (or mod list), then go to the track or the dyno and find out for sure. Do not ask for people to guess in our forums. It's pointless and it wastes space. Serious enthusiasts go out and do it, they don't talk about doing it. If you're not serious about performance, find another online community to be a part of.

Correct...
That's benchracing but you don't have to make it a huge font to get your point across.

Closed.
