What kind of car do you have mine came out to 43.90 thats because i did a new motor. That dosent justify $ per hp. Should be Parts $ / Total RWHP. The car well if you buy a cheap car like a 93 camaro or ta for 3k parts about 2k which would make it about 12.something.

.10 x 7800 = 780 + 300 N2O @ 3.00 LBS - Tax write off of undisclosed amount + 4.69 for bean burritos and a Coke = some where around 25.54 per HP

Now you do cubic inches cost is 316/.56 = 565 Cu.In. + N2O to the 3rd power and you have your answer
