This might be a NEW JWT Popcharger question... I Think. :)

Horsepower, or more specifically horsepower to weight ratio, does win races.

Not a good comparison, but I'll play along. If the 130hp car makes it's peak torque higher (much higher) than the one making 130ft-lbs then yes the 130hp will because the latter is making it's peak torque at a high rpm, making 130hp. The high torque car is making a peak torque down low and falls off (sounds like a turbo deisel

I started with a Magnaflow exhaust. No major improvement. Then added the JWT. Big difference. I agree with those who advocate a less restricted air path before the JWT.
