Also, why spend the extra cash on that kit when you already have a CAI?

aftermarket MAF's are a waste of money. You don't need one at all. The stock ones are good up to 400+hp and a LOT easier to tune. Aftermarket ones are often times a bitch to tune correctly, and more times than not you end up losing HP. Spend yur money elsewhere.

as for the airfoil, it won't be 10hp or anything, and it isn't essential by any means. Many argue it does nothing, others argue that "every little bit helps." It's not something you'll feel when driving...MAYBE on a time slip at the track or on a dyno sheet, even then it's miniscule.

You would get about.... 0.00

Because the first WOT run you make on a stock shortblock the EPA and NASA better be on speed dial trying clean up the oil spill and shoot down your rods and pistons out of orbit...

0 HP. You couldn't ask for a more mis-matched combo. Do some research on what works and what doesn't.

LOL great minds think alike Joe.

OP if you really want 500hp, do a can swap, and spray it with a 150shot.

But do research for a few years first. You have alot to learn.

lol, i feel like spray is cheating, like your car is so slow you NEED nitrous to win, i only wanna use a spray if I am up against something rediculous like a GT 500 with a 24lb whipple charger. (got challenged by one today )

That's bullshit. Nitrous is no more cheating than boost is....

The only people I've seen cry about others using nitrous is people who are slow anyway.

Here's the best advice you'll get...leave your car alone until you 1) know what you're doing, 2) have the funds to do the right mods correctly, and 3) have reliable back-up transportation.
