Most lied about internet truck topics....

[HillHound]

I voted for mileage myself but I'd say price paid is a close second.   What do you guys think?  The street racing stories are hit and miss.  I believe some of them and think most are made up!  

[carguru]

I think that most people exaggerate horsepower claims.

ditto.

I agree with HP gains. I've done some of the more simple mods, exhaust, HPII and FIPK and did not notice a huge difference with anyone of them in particular. I do notice a diff but I hardly think I have gained what is claimed. If you watch any of the shows that do mods and then re-dyno the vehilces the gains are no where near what the manufacturer has claimed.

I voted for HP also.

I think that this can be becuase the manufacture will test the product on an engine dyno, meaning that the power isn't lost due too tans, drive shafts, and big wheels.  Most of the shows on TV test on a chassis dyno and the number is rear wheel hp which is what matters.

 

I still think that alout of products are a little over rated, and I would like to know how they got those numbers.

Yup Horse power.

 

I got 15000 horses !!!

[MarkD]

OK, someone needs to vote for something besides HP... Not me.

[elboberino]

I got 15000 horses !!!  

 

Oh yeah??  Well, well, I have 15001 horses!  HA  

[TheScaryGuy]

*rice boy talk*  

I got me bigger tires yo, got me some K+N air filtration and 5 dollar a peice spark plugs with a tune up ta boot yo,  that tired 350 must be pushing At least 130 horse dawg...Not to mention the exhaust gains, $hit You's got no idea how fast I'm smokin loaded semi's off the line dawg...word....

 

LOL at myself.....I don't believe in aftermarket on stockers.  Stock motors didn't go through that much R+D to have aftermarket crap put on to really wake them up, less its a supercharger or something along those lines.

[SilveradoWV]

I had to vote HP gains! So many people tell you their HP and I am like, "how did you come up with that?" and they'll start off saying well the K&N drop-in gave me 15 hp and so on....! I forget what product it was but a buddy checked his hp before and after and gained like 3-5hp on a product that said to give 15. So all these people add up the max numbers and start braggin.

[Black02Silverado]

And here I thought most would brag about how much their truck could tow/haul.  Boy was I wrong.

 

[General Lee 01]

I voted for the towing\hauling option.

 

 

Often, I hear alot of people bragging "Oh yea? Well my so-in-so can pull anything your so-in-so can do, and it'll do it better!"

 

 

Who cares? ???

[SnakeEyeSS]

I think power gains, Some of it dosen't sound believeable.

[doverarjim]

I agree HP increace is the most used but I thought everyone will pick that, so I didn't.  I picked price because that is one that is hard to check out, no one but you, the dealer, and the bank really know what you paid.  So whats the chance your dealer or banker will find you out???

[alsz71]

hp I agree these guys seem to add up the max hp increases to unreal numbers.base 270 +fipk=285+power programer=300+pulleys=315 notice a trend here? too bad it seldom works that way. Oh and then theres the octane boost and 1/4 mile times too.
