Default Alpha Werks?

Has anyone seen their products yet? In the Super Street 2005 buyers guide they have a full page ad. They show a picture of dyno's for the tC. Headers, exhaust, intake, and throttle body makes +24 hp and +19 tq. Anybody else think that's an awefully small power gain for all of that?

It was posted on here. There header was around $1000+ I think??

Im sure most/all of the power is from the intake and header. I'll look for the post, unless someone else wants to find it.

I'm not a performance guru or anything, but I would bet that those numbers were inflated, if anything.

It seems like hp and torque numbers are never accurate. I wouldn't spend that much to see 19hp anyway, even if it were the case. Maybe you would swap out all those components while going with a s/c or turbo or something...maybe it would be worthwhile then. Just my opinion.

Thats at the wheels. Thats not bad at all. The true gain is at the crank you lose 12-20% at the wheels.
