Default Outrageous claims you have heard people make.

Got a good laugh yesterday afternoon. Was talking to a guy at class and he told me he would see a gain of 100hp off a "custom" exhaust---- for his V6 Camaro!!!!

I told him if he could make an exhaust that would net a 100hp gain, he would be a millionaire.

Broke **** in high school claiming he had a 67-68-69 (depending on the day) roots blown Camaro with 1200 horsepower. No one ever saw it and the parts were all "custom".
Numerous people who think ls 5.3s and 5.7s are "the old 327 and 350" respectively. No arguing with them. Finally got my grandpa to wrap his mind around it

Huge solar electric powered centri blower (can they draw a vacuum?) scavenging the cylinders. Custom cam timing so the intake charge doesn't fly out
