    The dyno run is ~$200?

    How much trouble is it to disconnect the front driveshaft? If its not a PITA, I'll do it!

    Here is FeatherFoots (John Finnell) reply from V-Mag:


    close - very close.
    Isuzu said that the FW HP was 285HP. our calcs showed 280 with the stock exhaust.

    Add the PV and the 18 becomes 22FWHP on a NA engine. At the same percentage gain (27.4%) that then becomes 28 HP showing a total of 308FWHP.

    Based on those figures a claim of 300+ HP would be ligitimate. That also is the same number (extrapolated due to speed limiter in the ECM) my 5.3L GMC is putting to the ground with just exhaust work.

    Butt dyno sez probably so. All I know is that the SC makes for wide eyes from others when used judiciously.
