I don't think it's a real number? This is the problem with the aftermarket.
Claims for HP are pretty iffy at best. In the early days of SHO performance
parts big HP increases were advertised. Just look at any old SHO Shop
catalog. But they never really lived up to the claims. The Tracking
Technologies system was very loud, not good for the street. Anybody still
running one of these?
