Its possible that its true. 27% isn't that much. It is as old as sin though. 2001.

I know that the article is eight years old, what I meant to say is, "Has any one challenged their numbers or has anyone else duplicated their results?" Like snowmoto125 says, the stock at the wheels dyno hp number seems low; a parasitic drive train loss of 35% sounds more like an automatic transmission. And I agree with shotgunjimmy that a 27% power increase is nearly 64 hp and a 64 hp increase from exhaust, intake, and a reprogrammed ECU?
