This has been something I've been wondering for a while now. I have a LE1 H/C car that put down 350 hp to the wheels. But at the time of the dyno, there was an extremely bad exhaust leak right at the passenger side header.
Here is the video. If you listen closely at the beginning, you can hear it.

Would this have effected how much I was putting down? Now that I have alleviated the issue, how much might I have picked up?
thanks guys

yea you could have been loosing horsepower, by sucking in outside air, causing the 02's to read wrong. how much you would loose or gain, is hard to tell....stick the car back on the dyno.
