They dynoed a 05 Mineral Gray with Underdrive Pulleys, I believe setup by Sean Hyland.

They baselined 275hp and with the Underdrive Pulleys ($175 I believe is what they said) they got 8 hp and 10lb ft of torque increase. Same serpentine belt used just swapped the size of the pulleys on the different accessories. Nice!!!

Future airings of the show...

300 is supposed to be at the flywheel, not rear wheel from what I understand.

^ yeah, the dyno measures net hp (the hp that actually hits the ground)
'net' means amount u have left after all losses are acounted for (ie the tranny, drivshaft, rear end, all eat power before it gest to the wheels)

the 300hp advertised is not incorrect bro, its at the flywheel before any is lost in the drivetrain like Dan said
