I'm hoping to get a new Harley this year, maybe before the new models come out for the best price and get the new 103 CI beast Bagger.

When it comes to Vipers, I like the older ones. More brute force, less refinement. US muscle car at it's very best. I got my first speeding ticket in a 66 Super Sport with a 396
Put your car on a dyno i bet it has no more than 240hp. Naturally aspirated cars get maybe 10-12hp from a chip...same thing with an intake and exhaust.

they got 350hp AFTER a turbo was installed, hate to burst your bubble
