Rhys Millen vs. Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak, home of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. A contest of driver skill, manufacturer engineering, and raw power all mix into the pot as a car is sent hurtling up the mountain in a fight against a loose surface and the ever persistent pull of gravity.

Besides the benefit of extra power, you will also get decreased spool time and lowered EGT’s. To top it off, these downpipes are coated in a matte black [...]
Cams for the 3.8L V6 Show Strong Improvement

It’s not peak horsepower either, it shows a rapidly increasing gap between 3500 RPM all the way to redline. See the [...]
