How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
30pk Coors Light + masking tape + OD spray paint = Redneck Flames!!
Crappy pics I need to get the rig off of the jackstands and pull it out, hose it off and take better pics They look ok from 10ft away but as you get closer they are a bit sloppy. That is the beauty of rattle can paint..easy to cover up if I don't like it!

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
Actually......
"If 1 hp represents the production of 33,000 ft-lb of mechanical energy per minute, horsepower equals ft-lb/minute divided by 33,000, the distance in feet the weight that it is to be moved and the force in pounds required to move the weight and the time in minutes required to move the weight through distance...."(1) You've lost hp by adding weight, not only the paint but the weight in beer. 1.

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
I'd be more interested in knowing what kind of torque it adds!

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
I might suggest adding some homer simpson speed holes as well... It definitely appears that you will get a significant amount performance increase.

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
According to all the ricers around in my area, painting their ground effects with a spraycan (after leaving them primered for 8 months of course) adds about 40hp! So I would think you are in that ballpark.

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
Is that regular hp or redneck hp there is a big difference! Add some power adders like a gun rack, rifle, lasso to get peak preformance, IMO

Re: How much HorsePower will this make?>>Pic>>
Pretty sweet flames there....love that rig. Mine of course is modeled alot after yours. You cant beat spray paint for cost, and ease of changing your mind as many times as you want!
