You may have seen the $10 book titled 42HP for free on ebay that claims to add 42hp to a stock LS1 for essentially nothing. Is this legit? And what are the actual modifications?

 

Only 2 things in life are free

Air and Water

 

There is no way you can get 42 hp with out spending anything. And if there was a way don't you think there would be a sticky about it? There are sone free mods mentioned in one of the stickies but you will not gain anything noticeable.

 

ya just another $10 thing that takes your money

its like those things that say 3 easy payments of $50 and you get tens of thousands a month... common??? don't even post that **** here

 

well its defrinately not free the book costs $10 so thats false advertising right there

 

you might as well buy a electric supercharger off ebay! gains 149.5Hp

 

Whoever is selling that **** probably drives a rice burner.

 

.

 

nothing is free in life. perhaps finding someone who has used mufflers and stuff that they're giving away? I don't have time for my full economical opinion of costs, but just know it's still not free in the end. plus it cost $10 + s/h (if applicable) + time costs for the book alone.

 

Sounds like a great deal..................................

 

I even have to pay for water.

 

You can find any of the free mods, and even the ones that don't work on this site. Save your cash and start hitting the search button!

.....and by the way, how can it be 42 hp for free if the book is $10?

 

after 7 collapsed lungs, take a look at doctor bills and tell me that air is free

so that means nothing is free, after the ls1 being out for going on 12ish years now, i think one of the 115,000 members on this site would found found that 42 horsepower

 

You have 7 lungs?

 

if your gonna spend 10 bucks buy one of those books that teach you about the LS1/LS6 motor and in there it shows how to do the free mods! they have them at autozone, and at Performance automotive wherehouse.

 

yea, if you bought the LS1 Z28 rated at 305hp, its under rated by atleast 40hp Bam free hp! LOL

 

You can get 42hp for free. Put your 8th spark plug back in.

 

i was going to say that.. go through a surgery.. and then say air is free.. i think for my collar bone.. surgery.. i had a plate and 9 screw put in.. it was like 900$ for the air.. haha.. bastards

 

42hp for free on an ls1? i dont know, maybe by taking out the screen on the MAF, porting the throttle body, getting better spark plugs (ahh, wait, that means you would have to purchase, scratch that), taking off the A/C belt, gutting the cats, removing the catback exhaust, doing that paperclip trick to your MAF, and um, oh loosing weight! It might sound like ****, but you might have an extra 25 hp there, but i wouldn't recommend it unless it was a hooptie!

 

losing weight wont gain you more HP, but it might make well for getting down the track faster.
