Re: Civic Air intake question
So if that book guy is right... my HP should go from 160hp to 171.2 or
172.8 with a 7 to 8 percent increase. I'm thinking it would prob be more like 165hp but either way it's good. :) Weathers nice up here.... last week it didn't get above -20 celcius ... makes for a CCCOOOLLLDDD start. A major snowfall here is more then 12inches in one storm. - - - - - - - dave (2000 Civic SiR Coupe) "T.
