Default Why lie?

This clone is selling to a very specific audience, one that knows what it's buying and why. Really makes you wonder why he'd make such an outrageous statement... (the one about how much power the upgrade provides).

Or am I the one that needs schoolin'? IS the Stage 2 kit under-rated?

Mopar's figures say that it'll boost you up to about 260 with out toys. Dodge does have a habit though of under rating there products (especially the SRT). 10 to 1 though this guy is trying to hype it up to get more $$$$ from it.

GOT ABOUT 100 HORSE POWER OUT OF THE KIT
Yea, right. S2 w/o toys increases HP about 30-40... no where near 100, even at the crankshaft.

Am I blind or did he revise his description? I don't see any claim of 100 horsepower. The wife tells me I have selective sight and hearing, so this could be the case here.

I sent him an email asking for his dyno sheet. Oh, I included the url for this thread, too, so he could see what we thought of his ad.

Lying bastage.
