22hp worth 2000+ bucks????

When you guys get a chance log into www.importtuner.com and turn to page 100. The article is called Powerpages , and the subject is the "G37S"! They put up dyno 4 upgrades in the "G37s" and get 22hp and TQ 18.9 . The conclusion is that newer car's OE engine management systems are getting increasingly harder to "trick". Read the article and give me your thoughts ! VONZIP!

and to the answer of the thread no 2k isnt worth 22hp..... you can wait till a supercharger is out pay 5-6k depending on your hookups and level of experience installing it and get over 100hp. and sound better than any exhaust/intake combo on the market wwwwwwoooooshhhhhhhhhh

boo for turbo chargers... the torque is not really worth the price IMO... and sometimes the wind gets a bit old... and no i dont believe its worth it...

That's a lot of money for that amount of HP.
You can probably get close to that amount for half that much.

But umm I don't see the article anywhere.

There are a coupple other benefits. Lighter weight, better sound and exhaust or intake improve looks. Still hardly worth it IMO.
