Can't agree with you more!

When I started reading about this SC--initially rated at something like +155 WHP--I wondered about the internals. Just as I wonder about the internals of ANY engine having its WHP increased by 50%. I mean, something's gotta give.

I agree with the comment regarding Stillen posting a more "honest" remark about gains and having people actually get a few more HP than using what appears to be a tune that's going to be damaging in the short run to the engine just for the sake of posting a big number.
