You can add between 60 - 100 more HP for as little as $125 - $430 by following these plans

Opening bid of $.75 + $1.00 handling charge. No takers yet. Might be a bit overpriced.

Somebody decided to sell a 'manual' of all the free and cheap mods they put together. Probably all stuff gleaned from the internet install pages out there. Doesn't look like it's doing well . . .

Re: this cant be ture

this guy is probably one of those guys that looks at the claims of every manufacturers parts and adds them up, "well, if this cai gives me 15hp, and this catback gives me 20, and this tb bypass gives me 5, and removing the cat gives me another five, then i must have a 50 hp increase over stock, keep in mind these claims are each individual on a totally stock car, you cant just add them all up to get a horsepower number. dont forget the stickers, you will run 9's for sure with the right stickers!!!! (ask any v-tec guru!!!)

When I read this post yesterday I thought the same thing. Thought it was a simple typo till I seen it in the title AND the thread itself.

Birdman rule #1 for detailing your car etc (is to get a good body man if you specialize in selling junk on ebay) to alighn the hood and fenders correctly before you snap the pics LOL

Re: this cant be ture

Save yourself the money in buying a non-sense book and just do a search of new and old posts on this board. You will find more than enough information on how to cheaply modify your f-body.

Re: this cant be ture

There is nothing in here about a book. He's selling "PLANS", i.e. probably a type written sheet of paper.
However if any one can tell me how to get 60hp for $125 bucks I might consider a financial reward.

Step 1: Start by getting the car baselined on a chassis dyno.

Step 2: Remove engine

Step 3: Put engine on engine dyno



PM me and I'll give you the address to which should be sent $125

For $125 you'll be stretching things, but for $300-$350 you can get between 75-100-150 horsepower.


Used nitrous kit.

I'll take my financial reward... paypal please. mattbra@hotmail.com
