Don't get me wrong, if 2 engines are putting out 100HP to the wheels, the one with the lighter pulleys and flywheel will be slightly quicker, and on a track, where you are coming out of 10-15 corners, it makes and even better difference! =) FLAMERS: Correct me if I'm wrong... I've got thick skin... and back it up with dyno charts.

The best thing it could do is turn that Mountain Range of a dyno chart into something resembling a proper power curve. I think this is a HUGE thing that is overlooked on this forum: POWER CURVE v. PEAK HP. If your curve is sloppy, who cares what a snap-shot of your peak HP is? Even with a car with a self-adjusting ECU (remember, it operates within a pre-set range based on a model of economy, not all-out performance), the correction cannot be made (in the best way possible) to accomodate a new intake, header and exhaust. If you look at a motorcycle, say a DUCATI, or even a GIXXER, you cand do a K&N filter for $65, a new carbon or Ti pipe for $500, and gain absolutley nothing but sound. It's not until you throw in the $349 power commander that you see some good gains... and we're talking 5HP. So, if our car dynos around 80-84 FWHP(like the FIT), and you can spend $189 on headers, $199 on exhaust and $200 on an intake, you are getting 15-18HP at the wheels for $600. In terms of $$/HP, this is CHEAP!! Sign me up!!
