Not on a N/A motor,only the FI guys have picked up power with the LS2.
Even on a stroker guys are losing power over the LS6 vs the LS2..
LSX ROCKS

haha....i'd say you gain near double that with true duals and headers...and you can get true duals and headers for <$800 and the 90mm fast with throttle body is $1400-1500...so you are getting about 1/4 of your "power for money spent" with this intake than true duals and headers...
If you wait for a deal, you can get the FAST setup for $1100-1200. I see numerous people spend more than that on other performance parts with lesser results. Most LT setups are about the same HP numbers with more TQ. If you don't want the extra HP and cost, just don't get it. alot of people want the most from there setup and the LSX helps you get there and I don't see another alternative yet..

And yea....27rwhp is what you get from headers alone half the time. True duals should add another 5-10rwhp/tq easy over most catbacks(more if coming from stock).

yea if you go cheap you get cheap and I didn't buy a cheap car so everything I've put on it at the time I bought was the best out at the time. I paid $1,100 for my 90mm setup (midnight madness sale). I don't see where your math is adding up on the 1/4 of your power for $$ spent how much hp do you think you gained with headers & duals? Anyway if I want to spend $$ on a nice setup that's my choise I don't need someone laughing at me because they think it's too much $$ it's what I wanted and when I go true duals out the back it will be stainless from the eng. all the way out the back and that won't be cheap either. 
cheap will still go just as fast...(and not too many people get underneath your car to see how nice your exhaust looks)...you can go spend twice as much and have the same thing...it's your money not mine...and your comparing a special deal to a normal price...
...my math comes from speed inc. and tsp...where it would cost you over $1400 to get a 90mm lsx w/throttle body and about $800 for COATED pacesetters and the tsp system...true duals can be had for much cheaper than their also...i'd be willing to bet you get ~40rwhp from headers/true duals...so lets say 1/3 instead of 1/4 "bang for the buck" it doesn't really matter though cause you are going to need both...i'd personally spend a lot more on exhaust since the intake doesn't give you that mean sound

I don't do anything on my ride's because someone might look under it I look under it and thats all that's important to me, you might get those type of #'s on a Dyno jet but in the real world on a Mustang Dyno I would bet on that. Don't get me wrong I think a true dual setup is killer and I'll get one when someone come's up with a good SS setup out the back that you don't have to beat the hell out of the floor board's or remove the upper PHR. Also my 27rwhp gain is from a LS^ intake and ported T/B so I would say it would have been alot more if I compared it to my LS1 intake and unported T/B like you are coparing the headers and duals to a stock setup.

thanks...i'm going to need it...it's been hard enough get another car...i don't know if i wan't to imagine what it is going to be like getting it fixed up 
hopefulyl a lot easier
hopefulyl a lot easier 1000 for the intake and tb,NOT me bro
I'm direct with Comp,I could tell what it cost but then I'd have to kill u....
Lets put it this way after selling my LS6/PTB is cost me 450 bucks for the whole switch and I got 300 for my LS6/PTB,u figure it out
