You can add an extra 10 HP for this one since its got an upgraded K&N air filter and high output alternator ??? Maybe just cause its a LSC??? hahaha


apparently I'm wasting my time with a chip and exhaust, should of just put an new alternator......wonder if I pick up more HP from stock If put in a new battery?? haha

damn and he has the rare 17" factory chrome wheels! Wow!

Decent price though and cool color.

Is it possible it's a HO alternator with a slightly larger pulley would decrease the drag on the engine and thus yield greater HP to the wheels?

Of course, that sounds like a charging issue waiting to happen....

I don't think an alternator makes that much of a drag....

Actually with special alternators when the battery reaches full charge and there is no longer a drain on the alt is changes to self-powered motor and can easily add a few HP.
















Or I am just BSing...

I would love to see what would happen if I turned the alt off in the tune at WOT and did back to back dyno runs... I'm guessing nothing.

I emailed a guy last week about a "96 LSC" that was for sale on craigslist, when he sent me the pics the car was a 95 base (no intech emblem). When that although the title may say lsc, the car in fact was a base model. I went on to list what an lsc comes with, and he says "its got all that :q:q:q:q". Maybe if id never seen an lsc before i believe him, but i think i know what im talking about.

some people are freakin retards.
