I am not sure how they got those specific numbers, but if you read the dyno plot carefully, they say they tested it with a cat back exhaust. So, the only way that I know they could have gotten those numbers was measuring stock then with rt cat, some kind of cat back exhuaust and possibly an intake. I've heard a rt cat by itself will shelve out 2-3hp and should only be done after y and by pipes.

I was wondering about that high HP gain myself. Didn't think it was accurate either. Glad I'm not the only one...
