Whether or not anyone's IC's are that good is the question... probably not so much on a hot day, but on a hot day, you're going to be losing power anyway so what's the difference of losing 10hp vs 12hp... is not really significant.
sure it is.

its all cumulative. that why we do mods that are +10hp here and +8hp there.

cause all the little ones add up. right now im chasing a number, 400. thats only 23 away. which means 2 hp here and there by fixing some badly designed tubing is all i need.

it also makes the point about tuning. chasing those last 3-4 hp? need or want a tune. its all relative to that statement.

at what point is it worth it?
