Wow! I bet this kicker fellow never expected such a heated debate over one little uninformed claim. I try to stay away from this stuff but I agree with chicane. You know we really need to watch the claims we make and how we make them. There are a lot of people who maybe just bought an svx looking for info like most of us did at first. Why screw them up. "Stupidity" as earlier stated doesn't have to be from an unintelligent person but maybe an uninformed person. So to everyone: First make these claims into questions (i.e. I have heard the chrome stem caps add 5 hp. what do y'all think?) see? Although I do like to read chicanes rants, they might make people mad but they are usually right, we can't get too offended at what he says, because the majority of us feel the same way.
