1,11,12,13 add little or no power. some of the others are debateable, too.


you forgot Stebro exhaust - +17hp

[Seraph]

does getting out of your car and pushing and towing your car on tow truck?

One lowers the power to one human power and another boosts it to about 4-500

Alan, I believe the underdrive pulley adds about 5hp, though I doubt you would feel it (I thought you had one). I bet it adds more than #3.
Powered, ground wire and gauges are not going to be adding any hp at all. While the grounding kits have lots of marketing behind them to make you think they add hp, I don't see how you determined that the gauges could add hp

[Sonar]

In my opinion, the "ground wire kit" really REDUCES hp ....!!

Why, you ask....-Isn't the thicker wire's suppose to LOWER the voltage drop over them? .... In that case the CURRENT from the alternator to the battery actually RISES, and for the alternator to produce more AMP's, it takes power from your engine!

Theoretically speaking ofcourse ...

All the underdrive pully's and light weight pullies do is reduce rotational mass... There for quicker engine response... You are not actually burning more fuel to make a bigger bang... Hince you are making the same Hp, just you have less weight to turn with it...

it may by reducing the load the belt is driving or something like that (i have a headache!) - that's why i said *little* to none. Greenmarine is right - the major benefit is quicker response.

i have the Ovidiu-Stan "VERY slightly" underdriven lightweight pulley - i like my AC ice cold, thank-you.

This is why I love this site ,the thicker wires do increase my voltage,that is what my voltmeter indicates,this is something I tried when another member tried it with success,yes these mods are debateable alone but together they wrk,I WILL bring a 14.78 at 96mph fwd svx on motor to the nopi show,I really do not know about the reeding meet,I need a paint job but mainly I posted a true statement about PA 15 years ago,who gets served,maybe things have changed.When I find a decent 92awd I maynot be the first but it will run a 12something 1/4 mile,my fwd is now beyond the limit 2.33 60 foot isn't bad but it should run low 13s instead of high 13s on the bottle.

I wonder how much faster you are without punctuation....?

Cool - can't wait to see an svx hit the 12's We'll all be cheering for you when it happens.

Well guys the gauges don't add power but its a part to the puzzle,also underdrive pulleys for mustangs with a ram air kit dyno'd 24whp.After I installed my setup I dropped 2 tenths an gained 3mph,so those who are forever spellchecking and perfecting typing,good luck.I spend too much time under my hood and at the track,but after next month I'll have more time to practice.My job of nine years is going to n.korea and mexico,what a bummer.Enough on that try a short belt that only go around the idler pulley alternator and crank you have to remove the ps pulley.
