like 10 maybe to the wheels if you're lucky.

Aren't you glad you spent like $1400 for 10hp?



And I'm assuming you have some kind of b-series.

If you have a d-series you can subtract from your OEM hp rating.

well its not really about the HP. it kinda like good to help you engine breathe, adn it's good to fell gain all the way through you rpm's.
not much gain but it feels good all the way through.

...my two cents.

I'm sure it livened it up and all.

But there's no real way to tell him what kind of power he's making.

He STILL has yet to mention what motor, condition of said motor, and what type of dyno he'd be measuring on.

We could guess, sure. You're actually gains could be anywhere from -3 to 15 at the wheels.

Some d-series motors LOSE horsepower from modifications.

woah that is new to me. but come to think of it makes cense in a way that the engine wouldnt produce enough preassure, loss of back preassure and such stuff.

This is a very subjective statement. Any engine can lose horsepower from modifications, b-series included.

23.185 Horse Power to the ground while at VTEC speeds.

Haha, but for real dude, your DX (assumption from your past threads) engine will gain very little from these upgrades in terms of power, but can gain a little bit of response. All in all, unless you're going for full build, don't set out to waste too much money on your D15B7, you'll probably want to spend it elsewhere. Do some more homework, you'll find that even in the car hobby community, there are better ways to spend your money, if you're just more patient.
