Just a little math to equate the numbers to a CL-S. These are just rounded numbers for simplicity. This upgrade for the Viper gives 20% gain in power for almost 25% the price of the car new.

Correlate this to the CL-S would give the following:

1.20 * 260 = 312 HP or a 52 HP gain
0.25 * $30,000 = $7500

So it is at a higher premium than the Comptech blower. But it is a more exclusive vehicle (although not many CL were sold) and I assume the price includes labor. So in the end it is not out of line relative to the price of the car.

Always breaking things down to relative terms. Good Job.

Yes, as mentioned that is a 20% gain in power. You can start feeling gains at about 5% and up. Below that we really aren't sensitive enough.
