instead of 140bhp, you'll be at a whopping 140whp :shrug

anywhere from 0 - 6000 hp

I know I say this everytime I see bench racing, but what does it matter? What does it matter what imaginary number some guys on a forum told you your car would make powerwise? It's not going to change how fast your car is.

It will be more fun to drive on both accounts. That's what's most important. The only way to know for sure is to strap the bitch down and dyno.
