Default Spring time upgrades. Taking bets on gains.

What's up everyone. So I'm super stoked about the upgrades and pro tune I am getting on my 2010 GT next week. Already have a Roush M90 blower and off road Xpipe. Getting rid of the stock air box that came with the SC and putting on a JLT Big Air CAI as well as a going to a 2.49 pulley/idler. Having the guys at Revolution Auto in Rosedale, MD. do the installs and pro tune. Just wanted to see if any one else out there has a similar set up and what kind of gains in horse power and torque I can expect. Thanks and TGIF.

With all that I would expect to see about 425 or so to the wheels. Get an afco dual fan HE to cut down on the heatsoak your gonna have. Its makes a huge difference. The stock HE is just sad compared to the afco unit.

Thanks for the input and the advice. Heat soak is the devil! I'd be plenty happy with 425 to the wheels

So just my.02...Do the install yourself. Those things are very ready to do. If you don't have the tools you do it, buy them and you will still saving money.

I started doing my doing my own stuff (for the most part) after I paid people to do very little for very much.

I just did the tranny cooler on my car. Had fyi remove the entire front of the car, doing brakes this week, pulling the wheels this week and screwing the tires to the rims, removing the front sway bar, taking or about 100 pounds...the list goes on and on.

But if you have the money and it's no big deal to spend the money then by all means do it. I still pay people for some work.

So I wound up with 433hp to the wheel with 408lbs of torque and 8lbs of boost. Pretty damn happy with those numbers.
