Then that would be 75 million....

I think you’re focusing on the wrong thing. I could be reading too much into this article, but they used some very strange word choices is this “study”, which leads me to believe we have to read between the lines, such as:

And you can get a pallet of 22 340W 6.5'x3.25' foot panels for $6,600. That’s 7,480W of peak power.

Exactly, and after this:

It is a 2.3L engine, there is only so many cfm it can manage, the rest is just waste. A boost pressure gauge measures pressure at the intake manifold, therefore increasing volume would only increase pressure. That is, of course, what happens when you compress a higher volume of air into a confined space, the pressure…

Then that is your ignorance, if you think you can actually make meaningful gains in horsepower while keeping this on the exhaust:

There may be, but what did they do to get there? Adding 4.10 rears? Hot cams?

Considering that the stock turbo is capable of well over 20psi, I doubt that, unless you’re just worried over lag.

Here’s MotorTrend’s test data for the 1994 Mustang GT “car of the year”.

You forget that it was rather cold at the time they made the video, and they even stated that numerous times. Plus, both the initial stock run and the tuned run were made using those same drag radials, and the car still cut 7 tenths.

You could, but that’s a pretty silly way of looking at it.

There are a lot of variables, was that run performed with 93 octane? How was the dyno calibrated, since different dynos will read differently? So on and so forth.

You are looking at peak power, and that is the wrong thing to look at for racing. The powerband, and the amount of power made continuously throughout it, is what is most important.

Well.....no.

Not going to happen, and such things have been going on since a NA Civic Si could hang with a 200hp Mustang GT in the 90s.

Quite a bit, actually. What you have to understand is that it is fairly de-tuned from the factory, giving it some headroom to run on 87 octane, though premium is preferred. When tuned to run on premium only, quite a bit can be gained:

I agree with that, women are, and have been, long put out on all things vehicular related, not just racing. Even today, I can have my wife call a shop about wanting something done on any of our vehicles that I simply don’t have time, or don’t care to do, and so would rather pay someone else.

I certainly wouldn’t say thousands of hours. If you have that type of vehicle, then you’re either going to keep it while not putting very many miles on it at all, or you’re going to get rid of it by the end of the 3rd year.

I think that’s exactly how she got into that situation to begin with.

Because some people don’t care as much about all of that?
