HA! Thats a good one...

Nope, I don't think so!! I don't know what that dyno sheet is from (notice that the car is not identified) but eitherits had other serious mods that aren't mentioned or there is something fishy... I'm also pretty sure that the 993 peak horsepower is found higher than 5500RPM leading me to believe that this sheet is from another vehicle...

Car looks nice otherwise though...

I like the fact that you need to be reminded that you are driving an "S"! Perhaps they are worried that "S" drivers might follow narrow bodied cars down narrow roads...

I wonder if that's even a dyno plot? Guy is obviously either a total moron or a total liar. Everybody should send him an email informing him of his error at: sale-133820019@craigslist.org

Even with complete re-programming with a "free" exhaust our engines will not make much more than 300 hp at the crank without modification to the air inlet system. I don't believe for a minute that 340 is possible without substantial changes to all aspects of the engine (air, fuel, cam/timing, combustion chamber and exhaust) in addition to programming.

Yes, that chip does give 340bhp. But you have to sprinkle fairy dust on the car first.
