I just want to point this one out:



I'm surprised those NGK plugs don't add 5-10 hp.

as long as the car runs and isn't crashed or dented and scratched, then have fun!

on a side note: assuming 15% drivetrain loss, that 140 hp gain is about right on, but i think he's guessing too much on some of those mods, like the cold air intake and X-pipe. an x-pipe is for low end torque on poopy low compression engines. I should use one.
I agree, I didn't believe those HP descriptions were very accurate, either, maybe loose ballpark at best. I do know MANY CObra guys swear by running the X-Pipe, but again, I'm no expert.

Thanks for you input!
