someone PM him and tell him that he needs to stick it on a Dyno and not use the the dealer quotes on HP added for each part, LOL.

"My nismo intake gave me 15 HP....No i havent dynoed it, but the dealer says it could add up to that...."

Well...
I think he added the hp he freed up by saving weight off the body, crank and rotational...
ie, flywheel and pulley kits free up hp, lighter components free up hp, rims free up hp compared to heavier non-forged ones... etc etc... but it still wont add up to that amount though...
from a 10lb/hp freed up..

Nismo does make a MAF and is part of the Nismo S1 Engine package. It is not sold in the States.

I’d prefer to talk in terms of “drive wheel horsepower.” If a member is making 320 or 380 hp, good for them.

So what you're saying is because I took of my rear wiper and removed my spare, I freed up, oh, 17 HP? I cant remember the discussion, but I dont think lighter parts, pulleys, wheels, etc free up HP, maybe make it easier for the HP to work, but to add HP by lightening parts? Doest make sense to me...

I think he said that for every 10lbs you take off, you free up 1hp. So unless your wiper and spare tired weighed 170lbs, your didnt understand what he was saying.

I dont think it works that way though. What hp are you "freeing up". Is the motor magically making more power because there is less weight on the car? I have heard that for every 100lbs off = -.1 quarter mile time. That seems like it could have some truth.
