serp belt delete = only 2.5 hp on dyno

1998 saturn sc2

weighs 2400 lbs 1.9L engine

please see my thread. I considered deleting my alternator and power steering pump and putting in a pair of 100ah deep cycle batteries and a manual rack.

but the saturn guys responded that with the entire serp belt removed the dyno registered only 2.5hp increase.

if there is only a 2.5 hp increase how much could this save on fuel economy?

here we say that alt delete is 10% gain alone, and the ps pump should add to that. but how can that be possible if the saturn guys say its only 2.5 hp on the dyno and that means no alt, ps pump , water pump at all???

see my thread swap to manual steering rack - SaturnFans Forums
