+1.... Also one more thing I could add to this is to not get too caught up into peak numbers. What makes the car fast (or quick) is hp under the curve..Ok maybe it made 10-15 peak hp for example. What did it make at 3000 rpms when you're 30-40 ft off the starting line? Some LT headers show as much as 30hp under the curve. Is the torque curve flat and linear to the climbing rpms? Are the headers coated to help speed up the exhaust gases when the headers are boiling hot on a full throttle pass? It's the small details that make a great car that much better..
