In fact, nowhere in the article is there any mention of actual performance numbers. Oh, and it costs between $53,000 and $60,000.

No thanks.

So did this guy invent the SOP dyno or what, i will take my chances and i bet i will still be alright.

hahaha I was watching trucks this weekend and got insulted when they were putting a roush s/c kit on a 2007 F150 and claimed it could hang with "Just about ANY Lightning." I laughed so hard I nearly pee'd my pants... my wife asked me why, and I stated that I have more HP and more TQ with far less weight... and my truck isnt even taht heavily modified.
