    Hey guys I just got my new issue of...well Im pretty sure is Chevy High Performance and get this: They did a spark plug wires swap and they gained like 12 HP. They switched from AC Delco to the Granatelli ones, I was like BS. Then, I read the article like 3 times and it was just for the wires. Then later on they had another article were they drained all the fluids (engine, tranny and rearend) and replaced them with Red Line synthitic stuff and they gained another 8 HP. That was the most unbelivable issue I have ever seen. What do you guys think?

    Hey I thought the same thing and actually Im still not convinced. Yesterday I couldnt find the magazine, but I found it today. Oh yea my bad, it wasnt 12HP it was 15. Well I scanned the page that talked about the wires and here it is. Dont bash me, Im just an investigator trying to get clarification and enlightment.

    Damn you can barely see it, but you can download the pic and use one of your programs to zoom in. Sorry about that but the pic has to be less than 80Ks.
