yeah...
I was looking at the intake, pulley and exhaust....they claim 37hp for it all....
Just wondering, did they claim that or did you add up the individual gains all the different mods you were planning on? If you added them up, I can almost guarentee you it wont be 37. When you use multiple parts, you don't get the full gain claimed for each part.
For example, say you plan on putting on a CAI and Exhaust system. Both claim to be good for 10hp gains. Well, that theoretically would probably happen, is you'd add the CAI first by itself and see all 10hp, but then you add the exhaust and only see an additional 4 or 5hp on top.
I dunno why I thought of this, but it's the same effect a heavy person gets when trying to lose weight. If they're 300lbs to start, they'll be able to 20lbs a month easy, but when you get down to an average size, maybe you'll only be able to lose about 5lbs a month. It's just that the closer you get to reaching 'peak performance' out of something, the smaller effect you'll get out of the effort put in.
IMHO, if I were you, I'd try to be patient. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a MSpeed5 or
at least a turbo kit come out in the next few years. You'd be better off saving up to trade up or buy the kit. Perhaps we'll never see either, but if you're looking for bang-for-the-buck, boost is the ticket.
