As I said, "modified" HP...Lets see GIAC 20hp, 034 MotorSport aluminum flywheel 11hp,Techtonics
tuning cam 23hp, exhaust and hi performance cats 15hp, cold air intake 4hp...Is that not 360 modified hp + some? No, never dyno tested but for 4,276 lbs, this car is fast.. and handles phenominally with the Hotchkiss and Bilstein setup I installed. OEM hp output is 302 @ 6000 RPM not 300. Don't be a hater...... I guess I have to update my sig copy/text line.

Ah, the infamous tuner math
In short: no, those mods in all likelihood do not add up to 360 HP.
Because of the way all the engine components interact, even if all those per-component HP gains were accurate, you cannot simply add them together to arrive at a total HP figure. Plus, HP ratings are peak figures that occur at a specific RPM
So unless a) all those parts *really* performed exactly as advertised, b) they all added their HP in a totally unique way that did not overlap with each others effects and did not cancel each other out in any way, and c) all added HP at the exact same RPM, no they do not add up to 360 HP.
All that is not to say that your car isn't awesome, because it surely is. I love the height you have it at on the PSS9s. I'm glad you escaped all that work with minimum pain, all things considered.
