About the same as a lid by itself? Not much. About ten, I think.

^^^agreed. smooth bellows is worthless and the FTRA isn't going to show it's true gains unless you're at a higher speed to take advantage of the ram air effect.

just dont do the bellows, feel free to do the SSRA as it WILL yield a gain at higher speeds, but money may be better spend elsewhere as in a pulley...

i got the ftra and the lid for free and i did the fernco bellow so i only spent about 4 dollars. I also did the throttle body bypass mod. So my question is how much power will i get with all these parts? im not asking if they are worth the money

you guys obviously dont know what you are talking about...a FTRA will add just as much as a lid will...it has been proven over and over again...check out universityintall.com...at least 15wrhp with the ftra and lid...obviously the full effect of the ftra will not show on the dyno...take it to the track or just look at my times for an extreme version...

definitely a good mod....

No, do not descreen your MAF unless you cam re-map your MAF table, know someone who can, or can find a good tuner who will take the time to do what is needed to really calibrate it. Even on hi-HP FI cars, MAF removal nets minimal gains. Seriously.
