Decisions decisions

I have decided to add portholes to my car. How much HP you guys think I might get? Or do you think it'll disrupt the air flow and give me too much drag.

Anybody use portholes these days?

I heard that they'll boost you by 10 HP for each holes. How do you think those Bimmers can go so fast... Huh, Huh?

You might free up about 3hp.

Maybe 4 if they're chrome trimmed.

I get 42 mpg with my v6 Camry, but that's 'cause I have red and orange flames painted on the sides that provide antigravitational affects.
