How much horsepower will this give me?

Noticed I was missing 3 or so of my valve stem caps, got bored on Amazon, and these bad boys should be here in a few days.

Also ordered, received and replaced the wife's 2001 4dr LX's hub caps yesterday. Applied some tire shine while the wheels were off and her car looks 100% better. Will get some pics soon.

But seriously. I'm thinking 6 more hp and 4-5 more tq.

Thoughts?

joke?

joke?

Always.

These results are typical, and may vary +/- 3 WHP depending on the color (due to specific heat transference of the color spectrum). Flux capacitor.

 

[willowcairns]

And your flux capacitor has to be well... fluxing

Actually looking at them, they aren't as aerodynamic and probably are heavier then the black plastic ones most use.

+9 hp +6tq and 14% better gas mileage

but these will decrease your cars weight by 10%, improve handling, cornering & braking.

maybe you should take out your rear seats to even it out

I'm going to slide this thread over to off topic.

probably a gain of about 20-30 horses. i would add some stickers too. they add about 2HP. But it depends on where you put them

 

[2NRSTV]

So how many HP per wheel? Does it gain HP in the rear wheels since you are putting it on all 4 tires? Graphs and pics would help.

on a serious note though, did you get it dyno tuned yet?

 

[BrokeLX]

Going to run them without a tune for a week or so. And I definitely think they will give me a boost in power at the rear wheels.

Technically I will have AWD!

You don't have a driveshaft so technically, you don't.

If you mean they'll free up rotational weight, thus allowing your wheels to spin faster, then yes, that could be correct . But that's still not happening .

 

[VSP]

^^ Brother, please. This will free up at least .0000000473 ounces of unsprung weight, plenty in order to swap in that 6-CD changer unit in the trunk without worrying about adverse weight adding.

 

[R3dline]

i say just get stickers, they give you more hp than valve stems here is the proof, car has like 4000 hp

 

[Lopez619]

^^^ if you're gunna go that far you WILL need a tune before you run it, It would be utter madness if not.

That dude has ABC-7 and Motel 9 stickers!!!! Jesus.....

Cant even be sure what car it is. I THINK its a 5th gen sedan.
