58 more horse power?

The link below, the owner claimed 58 more horse power for the add-on modification. Is this real? What's the realistic #?

What BS. For a chip and exhaust I'd say 20HP max. Probably more like 15HP though.

On a stock '87 you'll be lucky to get 5 with a chip.

The only type of car that can get 58hp with a chip is a turbo charged car with computer controlled boost.

also the 'Porsche' paint job is suspicious after all it's not that old and it's supposed to have not been in an accident!!

The car in question might have had a cool collar on! This could have mad up the difference in HP!
