A friend's (rich) uncle used to talk to me about his replica AC Cobra -- how it had a 700hp engine and was a 7-second car, but he couldn't understand why it was running 12's in the 1/4. The car had BFG radials and suspension that had absolutely no give at all, not to mention that those cars are not the best drag car known to man. He ended up buying a "1000hp" crate engine. The car still ran 12's. Hmm...
Another friend once told me that he put a K&N filter on his car and he got 100hp increase. I suggested putting another one on to make it 200hp...
