Hi,

Not to be a Kill-Joy, but without the Stock curves to compare it to, it doesn't mean that much. 247HP at 6200+ RPM is only a Bragging Rights number unless you actually intend to go down the street bouncing off the Limiter.

USABLE Horsepower is what it's all about once you're 3 feet away from the Bar Stool. When compared to the Stock curve, there may not be as much difference as you might think.

Factor in the Cost and you may be on a Fool's Errand. Not saying that you are, but without a comparative curve, there's really no way to tell...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
