That's what we call Rice-Math, Mister Mag Racer.  Hot Shot's claim was
that their parts on a stock engine added 20 horsepower.  Who knows what
you're going to get with all of this stuff put together.  Maybe the cams
are really only worth 2 peak horsepower by themselves, but you have to
see the entire torque/power curves to make assessments like this.

Absolutely.  Don't take offense to the rice-math comment, either.  If
you're going to be combative about HP claims (which are often bullshit,
just not generally from *these* companies), I reserve the right to call
your mathematics to the carpet. ;)
