Talking Pure hype (with a touch of BS)

so im at the beach just chilling outside the room i was staying in. some guy a few rooms down owns a black acura integra. here are his 'claims', who calls BS?

310hp at the crank (must have pulled the motor out and dynoed it, lol)... strictly N/A, no FI whatsoever...

apperently 13:1 compression ratio
and when i looked under the car, totally stock exhaust system, no CAI visible.

i just smiled and nodded as i smelt the BS. i was tired and didnt want to here anymore.

what do you people think?

yeah I think he was mistaken. unless he's got some serious under the hood, N/A mods .. yeah I dont think so. you should ask him to tell ya the mods and pop his hood.

310? Yeah, that's some BS. 250-275 is doable with some extensive work (cams, ECU, etc). 13:1 compression would pretty much require race gas (100 octane).
