Yeah old school rule of thumb was 100lb = 10hp. I have 234lbs lost so ~23hp gain along with the headers/tune over stock. In theory of course!
GPS apps are pretty inaccurate/inconsistent unless you buy some type of external gps device specifically for testing. Personally, I think the best way to get the most accurate/consistent testing would be to film your speedometer and do a 40roll or 3500rpm in 3rd to whatever the top of third is to negate the traction and shift speed variables. Or at least a 5roll to 60+ to eliminate the traction variable.
