I was going with the ZL1 spoiler but then I saw this, got to be good for at least a 1-2 minute reduction in lap times.....

Add some vinyl and you'll get close to 20hp increase

Not just any vinyl stripe. Yellow stripes have been statistically proven to add an extra 50HP especially when combined with excessive fins or spoilers.

When spoilers of at least two feet in height are combined with excessive fins and stickers of tuner companies and mods you don't have, horsepower gains of at least 50 horsepower can be seen to the rear wheels, with an additional 7.5 horsepower per sticker after that

Way higher and/or multi level spoiler = way higher, multi level horsepower..
And add the body kit.. forgettaboutit!

true to all the above. the multi-level add-ons are typically known as stage 1, stage 2, etc. of horsepower. that said, those cars pictured are easily stage 2 or better

the rule of thumb is nothing adds more horsepower than additional weight. the more crap you add (stickers, wings, fins, pep boy stick on accessories, banzai style ground effects and 500 lbs of excessive audio equipment, TVs, gaming consoles, etc.) the better your weight distribution and center of gravity gets.

you need to be weighed down with crap at high speeds. it's physics.

I love this post. it is indirect venting....

I tried to add up the horsepower on this car but my calculator ran out of digits started smoking..

I literally spit laughing out loud. Thanks for that. I needed a good belly laugh.

LOL. How could I forget the fart can!!? those are easily good for another 10HP or so... nothing says power like the sound of a 1cyl lawnmower..

How much HP do the smelly pine trees give you? Pep boys have stage 1 and 2.

I've heard the yellow and green ones are up to 5 horsepower each

dyno results do confirm this. especially if you take the pine trees and place them inline with your CAI system. The fresh pine smell induction into the throttle body burns particularly well and smells minty fresh out the exhaust.

just don't get the orange ones. those are known to cause pinging and poor detonation/knocking. Orange is best for diesel cars.
