True, but already this is contradictory to other claims they made.
For example:
I had my SpecV on a local shop dyno, and got 157 whp stock.
Then with the Jim Wolf POPcharger this went up to 166 whp
John at HotShot told me they got OVER 20hp gain at the wheels with just
their headers and a CAI.
Let's do the math, using my SpecV as the example:
157 + 20 = 177 whp
So, if Hotshot got  175whp, either the cams are not doing anything, or
perhaps they got a  lousy engine to start with.
Bottom line:
Without the original performance figures without mods on this car, it is
hard to tell what they are gaining or not..
