Not true. Period.

Yeah, the only real gain you might notice, if if you went to a 1.6 ratio rocker arm. The extra little bit of lift, might add a couple of ponies.

That kind of gain is only realized if you put the accompanying stickers on.

(If it sounds too good to be true... )

Well, you have to remeber to use a left-handed screwdriver, when tightening the muffler bearings, otherwise youre electricals will go crazy.

i added a TGO sticker and lost two horsepower on my 2.8. i was still up by 8 though. i had a "K&N" sticker (+5) and an "energey suspension" sticker (+5).

can't wqait to see the wicked #s i put down once i get the "cascadcrew" sticker on the GTA. thats gotta be good for atlest 6HP.

it is true you will gain a little bit of hp but no way in hell 15+ lol also you would really only gain it in the upper rpm also the engine will rev a tiny bit faster. to me there worth the cash on my kinda engine.

what are the vanity plates worth on that GTA....20hp?

Xophertony · Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 12:10 am Post subject:

hmmm.... well. they don't add a hard number. it's a multiplier. if both plates are on the car i get a 10% HP gain over the whole curve, per sticker. it makes all my stickers worth even more. so for example if i add ten stickers worth 1 HP each (so 10 HP) they will actualy add 11 hp.

on my 2.8, since i had the plates AND a "K&N" sticker (+5) and an "energey suspension" sticker (+5). i had 10 from the stickers (plus the 10%) bringing it to 11, then -2 for the TGO sticker. making it 9 added HP from vanity plates and stickers.

this multiplier only works on sticker gains. if i added a cam good for 10 HP it would still only add 10HP. i have yet to figure out a multiplier for standard mods.

also i just noticed my toolbox is +30 HP. does that make my car faster whenever it is in the trunk or does it not work that way? cause it does not feel any faster.

Modern physics states that toolbox stickers add cool points and gets you mad props at the track if you show them off but no HP gain. sorry Sad
