How much horse power?

I am thinking adding some really big stickers that dont match my car. One across the whole hood, one on the top my windshied and about four on my back window to look like sponsers but there not. So how much horse power can i expect to gain from these. Thanks A Lot. Bobby.

well it depends, are those the TYPE-R stickers. Cuase if you have the TYPE-R stickers on your car with an emblem on your camaro, it will get like 10000x HP gain and then and then ya know like you can put neon wire all over your dash and like a coffee can glued to your muffler will make it do 0-60 in 2 secs I swear yo, i read it in a um book.

All my import sources claim about 5 HP per sticker depending on the size. LMAO!!!

Yeah definitely. Horsepower gains increase in direct proportion to the size of the sticker. Double if paired with neon lights, and quadruple with a fog machine (I swear to God... I've actually seen this one)

Around here they paint these great big dragons all the way down the side of the car!
I dont know how much HP that adds, but I'll bet it puts them in the single digits(9s or faster) I know it scared the crap out of me, and I wouldnt race a car with one of those painted on it even in my 67 camaro

LMAO... that stuff is just too much...lol. But in all seriousness, this isn't tech at all. Actually, I have no idea where a post like this would belong. Moderators, any tips? Maybe a little humor in with our tech isn't all that bad after all.

Those dragons don't add much HP. But it makes the other cars afraid so they dont go as fast
