You just paid between 3 to 4 times over the average cost for HP per mod-dollars spent. The acceptable average cost of a mod per HP gain is $25 to $30 per HP.

To be considered a "good" ROI for car modding the general ratio for
mod-money spent per HP gained is $25 to $30 for every 1-HP gained. You paid $125 per 1-HP gained given your configuration!!

did you figure in that he cant go turbo......?...... some of us in more modern states have a hard time passing emisions.

Not to mention this is pretty much near stock reliability, something boost just cant claim. Coming from a 350 myself gains like this are pretty awesome! Even a Vortech kit for the 350 turns into near $10K when you factor in install, tune, extras and supporting mods like I/H/E and thats a headache Id rather not go through again.

So what's your point? $5000 paid for 47 HP is still not a practical ROI of any kind no matter what the constraints are.

That's about a 20% improvement over the usual stock hp numbers, for about 15%-ish of the price of the car.

No its a 15% improvement based on the 47 HP gain he reported...not 20%. Anyway you cut it he overspent for a mere gain compared to the dollars spent. The numbers don't lie, folks. No argument has any standing when the numbers are run other than he overspent and the performance shop got to walk to the bank laughing.
