forget HP gains.It's all about how fast your car cools down at the track.Takes 5-10 minutes to bring the motor to 100 degree's compared to 2hr's with a reg. pump.

Here's a little something but this guy also messed with the exhaust, injectors, and added a FAST 90/90.

The fast 90/90 may have given him all of that gain. That's why I want to see gains from just the EWP. I will probably do it for Just the reasons Don said.

That is what I have heard is 8-10 rwhp . Not much more than a good ported throttle body as far as gains on the dyno but it does have more benefits than a tb such as how quick it will cool the engine down as stated above .
I put my car back to stock and wish now that I still had it . If you got patience you can find one and save some money or just go ahead and buy that sucker and dont think twice about it . If you go to the track a lot or race it is worth it . Just remember they make two versions of it . One is a race version that is not meant for a street driven car and the other is for a daily driven car .

I have also heard 8-10, but also heard that for the ported TB & underdrive pulley also. I gained no rwhp from the ported TB, and 12 from the pulley.

I am doing a EWP install along with a Pully, I dynoed 389 RWHP before all of this. I hope I am at 400 RWHP with the Pully & EWP!

what's the point otherwise it cooling your engine down faster? ...don't you want higher temps for a better running engine? i mean your not gonna run hard (or shouldn't) with the engine around 100*

To rich for my blood, but my bud who bracket races his C4 Vette swears by it. After a run he flips a switch, grabs a drink and before you know it motor is nice and cool. Definatly useful to stay consistant.
