Okay, Ya'll got me, I'm just using the estimated numbers that Autotech uses
to sell their stuff.  So based on those numbers, K&N=5, exhaust=10-12,
timing=2-3.  I'm missing something here. Of course I'm trying to sell the
car so I'm using the big numbers.  On the other hand, I did notice one hell
of a boost from the exhaust, nothing noticable from the timing just a really
nice improvement in the throttle response.  As for the K&N, I put that on
the car before I ever drove it, so if it improved the power, I can't tell.
I've also got all the "maybe" power producers, like autotech plug wires,
platimun plugs, slick 50( there was actually an audible difference in the
sound of the engine when I put that stuff in), etc...

        I'm not trying to con anyone, I just thought that was what I'd be
producing, I'd love to dyno the engine and find out.
