What kind of horsepower gain can one expect from that sticker, cuz if its over the typical 10, we're game.

Well... Its a pretty big sticker, so looking at it like this:
1 average size (non-JDM) sticker = 10hp
1.5 * (average sticker) yeilds 15 hp (at the wheels of course)

Unfortunatly it is not a JDM sticker, otherwise we could be looking at gains of at least 18-20.

Does anyone know if Walbro sells JDM stickers?...

Jon... your lack of JDM knowledge puts your foot in your mouth again. It is common knowledge that all "American Muscle" decals have a net yield of 7-9 horsepower at the wheels. Gains in torque should be expected to be in the 4-6 ft. lbs range. However, the JDM decals in question yield horsepower and torque gains THREE TIMES higher than that of their American counterparts. This is due to the required overnight shipping from Japan. The speed in shipping directly correlates to the gains to be expected from your decals. Because the Japanese decals are shipped overseas in such little time, they obviously will do more for your car. To get to the point, a JDM decal will give you 21-27 horsepower and 12-18 ft. lbs of torque. Don't go with the Walbro unless it is ordered through their office in Tokyo, otherwise you will be getting jipped on the shipping. That's where I will be ordering my 190lph pump. Oh and Jon, leave the JDM talk to those who are qualified.


Ultimate JDM knowledge source.

Jonathan,

Please contact me at ddeussen-at-nospam_walbro.com (of course with @ for the -at- and without the nospam_).

Sorry, we don't sell big JDM stickers.
