There was a guy on the Facebook group that posted a dyno graph of his F150 a couple of weeks ago.

Stated the truck (5.0 w/ straight pipes and an AFE CAI) made 4xx whp and 42x wtq. I called BS. He didn't like it.

When he posted the graph, the dyno readings skyrocketed when the truck hit the factory rev limiter, obviously skewing his "peak" numbers. He honestly believe his truck made that peak power for a split second of RPM...LOL
