Say someone put on test pipes or headers or anything. How much of a difference did they notice, how much did it improve 0-60 or 1/4 mile or roll on power etc. I was fortunate to run into a guy the other night who had put on HFC. We couldn't run em from a dead stop but rolling power in 2nd gear he slowly creeped ahead of me, once we went into 3rd we let off. That was the only mod he had done so far. He didn't even do drop ins.
Motortrend didn't count the roll-out. The other mags did. You can fudge 0-60 numbers so much, but a 5-60 is what it is. That is why I pay attention to 5-60 to tell me 95% about how the car will feel from a redlight on the street.

That sounds about right for HFC's (15whp, give/take).
