Horse Power Question?
I can't remember How many horses 10 zip-ties worth. I kinda remenber the rule of thumb 5 hp added for every 10 zip-ties on the car..
Re: Horse Power Question?
What if you have 75 lb or 125 lb test zip ties? does the power level go up or is it just the # of ties that count?

I think you can get extra ponies if you use the chrome ties.
Smooth finish = less wind drag = extra ponies
Might have to wear sun glasses because of all the shine......
