Import Tuner RX8
did you guys see the power pages in the new Import Tuner mag. they tested the new K&N intake, Racing Beat exhaust, and i think its called Sun Pro Grounding kit.. the intake made like 3HP @ 5000some RPM's the exhaust made 1HP and the ground kit made 2HP.......

There must be something wrong with IT's dyno, since an S2000 with a comptech exhaust and intake ($1700 total) only yielded 2-3hp total. +1 after they exposed the intake.
Odd. Either it's broke or those are the real results, which I highly doubt.

Not that I disagree with your freedom of choice, but these days....if it is not forced induction, Juice, or something proven for the price...like pulleys, I wouldnt bother. Why would anyone pay $700 for an exhaust that only gets you 3 hp? If you prefer the sound, that would be a sufficient enough reason, but don't tell me its for performance. I am only considering items with their cost vs reward. Anything that cost several hundred dollars, should yield you several hp. If not, then its just not worth it too me.
After a ride with CRH in his NOS 8, and the experience of 3rd gear...I would say that his NOS is worth it. Not including the R&D, trial and error, I'll bet parts alone didn't cost him more than an exhaust and intake combined and for sure it develops far more hp then both combined...obviously.
Just my 2 cents.
