Correct me if I'm wrong. Is this guy totally talking nonsense?

I'm in my '98 Civic EX auto (127 HP) - only mods are hacked airbox (+5 hp), 30% tint, and my sound system.
He starts to rev, and I'm like, wtf... he wants to run?" HACK AIRBOX +5HP!?!??!! So then a Cold Air intake should give us 30+ according to this logic? SOME PEOPLE?! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I don't think he is joking. I know LOTS of people who think you can do EXACTLY what he said and get those kind of gains. I had old friends coming up to me after I got my CAI and asking me if I can feel all the horsepower I got from it....

Rep Power: 0 The best part is when the guy tells him to add a sticker for +10 hp and like 4 different people go... "are you serious?" , "are you kidding or are you serious, I hope your kidding"

Not giong to name names, but this reminds me of a certain other member on this forum who claimed to get 12+ hp from his CAI. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Yea, haha only 12HP from a cai lol he must have gotten an OBX because i got the full 20HP+ from my AEM CAI 
, but then i figured if all the mods we do that increase air flow = gain in hp why not just take off the intake and exhaust manifolds completely. Direct air in...direct air out. No restrictions at all. By my estimates i think i'm pushin about 800+HP and that's RWHP not at the crank. what do you guys think.
PS I did lose a little bottom end....actually i have to get a push start now, but since i reset the rev limiter to 20,000RPM it really pulls from the 15,000RPM on up
EVERYONE should try it

Wow I never knew weight reduction comes in stages like a turbo kit! Lol
I wonder what's stage 2.....CF hood, 2 15's....stickers...
"He starts to rev, and I'm like, wtf... he wants to run?"
"So technically, he won but I didn't know he was gonna race"
Hmm...perhaps the fact that he reved it you, that it would indicate he wants to race you?

Rep Power: 364 Yeah... taking out the subs is serious weight reduction from stock. I wish my car came with subs stock. And that backseat of FOAM weights at least five pounds. So thats what... half a hp. What a tool.

Rep Power: 308 He appears to be a 14 year old who doesn't drive and wishes he had a car. On top of that he doesn't know vic parts very well. To him, cars are like legos; just keep adding stuff on to make it better!!! (Like cold and warm air intake?!?!?
