HP and torque gains. LOL, jk.

N/A cars have seen up to 15whp, so expect more with a blown car.

yeah hp and torque gains.

Yeah I know the install would be easy as I have done head cam and intake swaps in the past.

Thanks

Nah, why break a sweat.... just send the intake and car to me; I'll take care of it for ya

On a serious note, just keep an eye on that tune for the first few pulls; changes may have to be made.

K, thanks for that info.

I might make other changes if I will need a tune anyway, have been considering a cam swap, but not definite yet.
