I was just wondering if these H/P claims are actually legit..??
Seems like a decent company but for a three second application replacing pulleys and gaining 12+ horses to the wheels seems a little extreme and to good to be true.

I have a hard time believing those numbers, and shane racing is terribly expensive.

Yeah they are pricey, but I am sure I can find comparible items cheaper somewhere.

I have the Agency power pulley, which just replaces the crank pulley and is much cheaper and easier to install... and it's the pulley with the biggest reduction from the stock weight.

I changed my rear tires to 245x 40 and gain 5hp.
I also added an eltro magnet to the fuel line and gained another 5hp.
Then I topped it off with side strakes and gained another 3 HP.
