Ouch ouch ouch.
He was seriously claiming a 195hp cobalt?
I've seen a vid of a stock 2.4ss taking a 2.0l because the SC driver wasn't paying attention to the light and the other guy slaughtered him off the line, The SC was pulling but not before they shut it down.
So we're working with 171 hp car that can "possibly" beat an SS/SC, and here you have a 195hp car that had no chance in hell, even with five car lengths....
hmmmmmm

Yeah... but he didn't even have a CAI... the only thing he had was the Exhaust. No CAI! I was laughing.

This guy needs to try some nitrous or some boost before he can start dreaming of real gains...it'll make spending money on anything else a waste of time.

with that said...time to watch the vids

ok, just watched the vids and LOL...especially that 2nd one, wow. gone fishin lately?
i think people claim outrageous gains meaning crank hp bc i know when i used to bench race with mods like that it would always be based off crank hp , like intake give you 10 crank hp exhaust another 10 so you take those and say 15 for both , add headers and youll gain about 30 crank horsepower with headers intake and exhaust thats how i used to paper dyno

I have a friend with an IS300, that says he got 50-60HP gains from an edxhaust and intake (form an SRT-4) lol
