Default is it worth it?

I've already got some bolt-ons ready to be installed and was wondering if this kit that RPM Outlet is offering is any good. They advertise a 35 + gain. I know that it's probably less, though. Are there other means of adding 35+ HP for the same or less amount of money?

Thats not gonna happen. Maybe 15-20hp, i dont even know, but not 35+. What mods do u have on ur car? There are better things you can do other then dropping $500+ on an intake setup.

20-25 Hp sounds about right. And 35 hp really doesn't come cheap. Good luck. How about some gears?

i've already got the exhaust taken care of with some headers, o/r xpipe, and some spintechs. i've got some nitrous on the way and need to install my 4.10s, shift kit, 2800 stall torque converter, u/d pulleys, timing adjuster, and intake spacer. i've got a 96 gt. what should i buy next? not enough cash for a blower. that's why i went with the nitrous setup.

ok. how about this kit. the tunable induction cai is supposed to be one of the best, right? the stage 3 kit is about $500 (the same as the rpm outlet price).

I'd buy the 35 hp gain if you were putting the intake, plenum, and tb on a cobra...

pi heads/intake

Best bang for your buck other than gears. You can get used PI heads/intake and cams for 500 or less on ebay or at a junkyard. Should net you about 35 hp too. Of course instalation is very pricey if you don't have the tools/skills yourself.

that's what i mean. i've seen the pi heads and intake for pretty cheap on ebay but about how much will it cost for the installation. i'd have to get the installation kit, right? also, people are saying to port it before installation. how much more is that? i want to install a whole bunch of parts at one time and was wondering what else i can throw in that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
