Reds are downers so it's hard to figure any hp and torque increase.

Mike,

I knew guys in Mexico that swore adding certain color badging did something. Most claimed it was a temperature thing or something else that helped pierce the air (I guess like rudolph the red nosed reindeer). I even knew one guy that would burn incense on his hood ornament for luck before going to the track and sometimes at the track.
