[s-cars] An interesting FMIC "fact" (?)

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

Ok Cody:
Let's B4B (tm - qshipq) that.
Step 1 below
5000USD = 50USD/hp
35% gain in HP

Step 2 below (installed) = 90-100USD/HP
8% gain in HP

At 8% gains, I'd be looking at alternative "theories" to spending 100USD/HP.  
That's a lot of GP money for custom cams, better IM, TB, turbo dyno.

Without the 4 probes, who really knows?

I'm not at all claiming that better IC's are bad, we can look at the 
measures/$ and see that IC's gains are minimal.  I look at 8% gains at 100/hp and 
think that will buy a whole bunch of high octane fuel, or a whole bunch of 
windshield washer fluid.
