I love it when people make outrageous claims on HP

it just amaze's me that some people just have a clue what they are doing.....if your going add performance products to your truck, it would probably be a good idea to find out what it is actually doing to it. not just throw a bunch of stuff at it and play a guessing game, "oh, she's pushing about 750 horses!"

Q: What's the difference between a 400hp Toyota Supra and a 900hp Toyota Supra?

A: About two-tenths of a second in the quarter mile

If I figure how they do, with the money i have in my truck I should have about 2,500 hp at least, and run with rocket cars. seeing as how they spend 800 bucks and get 800 hp. Works out to about 1 buck per 1 HP, that would be nice wouldn't it. Wed all be runnin 2's in the 1/4 mile

I don't know about the 800 hp claim, but, of all of the episodes of that show that I have seen, it is about ride that I find appealing!
