My blown alcohol BBC made 2700HP and my alcohol turbo smallblock made 2450HP. Now that I understand real horsepower you can not convince me you feel the power from adding a pulley. If I spend 120 on a pulley, 250 on cold air and 400 on exhaust I am getting close to $1000 bucks for maybe 10 horsepower. You can tune a motor and pick up more than that. So I am looking to tune the engine. I know there is a way and through the O2 sensor sounds pretty legit to me.
Go race your 116HP rice burner You noob!
so you know all this and have to ask about a $2 resister adding HP? wow alot of "know it alls" here today...

I await your testing, if it works, without a check engine light, I'm in.

p.s. i like big hp, could you provide some pics, in the off topic section of your car, website, team etc..maybe some stats etc...

Ok so out of all you people on here none of you have tried this mod that cost a nickle or the O2 sensor mod for $30.00. It has a money back guarentee if it does not work. Is everyone scared to try it? What is the deal? Feedback on ebay sure looks good. If it did not work how does this guy have over 99% feedback?

Then try it and prove us all wrong.

eBay is full of scammer sellers and fake bidders.. its not hard to create bogus feedback ratings.

ebay

I will try the O2 sensor deal and let ya'll know. I buy and sell airplane parts on ebay every day and so far everyone has been honest. It is almost impossible to control feedback. Once you get bad it stays with you. So is that crank pully and a k&n worth buying?

Not when the seller has many different acounts on the side, used to pad his or her auctions. It happends. If you believe every feedback was a legit sale, you soon will be taken one day.

Glad you have had such a positive experience so far.
