Question Horsepower increase.

How much of a HP/TRQ increase would a Gibson Sweptside cat-back give to a 4.2L v6?

Another dumb question- If a chicken & a half, laid an egg & a half, in a day & a half, how long would it take a rooster with a wooden leg to stomp a hole in the ground?

yo

truckperformance.com says 10-15 hp and 30 lbft of tourque. i dunno if they are right though. i would just say that it gives the most power out of the gibson line. that is what a gibson rep told me anyway.

i don't know

i can't tell you why it is the best. but i do know that when i contacted gibson i asked them how much more power would a sweptside produce than my supertruck exhaust. he said 7 hp. i assume he was giving me that maximum power increase instead of the normal (or average) increase.

by my calculations i got 1.38 min. another chapter in the hp of the gibson exast. i went to www.performancecombos.com and it says that all of the gibsons give 15-20hp and 15-20ft lbs and a 10% increase in mpg.

It seems to be the general thought in the Lightning forum (from what I have read) that the Gibson is one of the best exhaust systems.
STWater, not long if he tries to fly from the top of the barn. According to what I know about the aerodynamic specs of the average rooster and terminal velocity, it should take him about 2.3 seconds. If you wanna bigger hole than that, you're on your own.

Question

Hey Wolverine:

Is that a Rhode Island Red? Or is it a Wisconsin white? Or a West Virginia Smoot Rooster? If it is a smoot rooster it would take 5.256 minutes. But if it is say, maybe a Western Baltimore Bantam Rooster..well maybe we should leave that alone....
