Great numbers dude! Also congrats on the impressive e.t. I'm not gonna do a header (too scared), but I'm wondering if I'll get similar results from an s-pipe back exhaust. Of course, even if I do, you'll always be .5 psi ahead of me.

Couldn't find any information at school tonight on the power trains of our car. They are currently updated the ALLDATA systems at school.

Yeah, you cant really think of all those parts that way. You cant simply add up all the gains for each and use the number you get. Some mods take away from one another and some supplement one another. It is the overall effect that you are seeing.

Well, HP is a general term. BHP stands for brake horsepower, which is measured at the crank, WHP is measured at the wheels. There is typically around 12% - 15% loss in the drivetrain on a FWD and 15% - 20% in a RWD. Manufacturers rate HP at the crank since they rate the engine, not the car. There are also fewer variables in the way, so you get more consistent readings. Most people, aside from full race shops arent going to pull the engine to dyno it, so they measure WHP. This measurement also takes into account the losses in drivetrain, gearing, etc.
