Not much without a custom tune. Your car wont know what to do with the extra flow.

Getting a chip or a programmer will help, but you will really see some gains from a shop giving you a custom dyno tune. Look at my mods. All I have is a CAI and a custom tune, no other motor mods and I made 262 at the wheels!! That means close to 300 at the crank. Get a diablo sport programmer and then go to a diablo tuner shop so they can set you up.

I went with the Accufab 75mm and 2.5" catback at almost the same time.

Anyway, on a great running 10 year old NPI stang with faded paint it .. hehe

It was noticeable. Nothing too dramatic, but I know how my car drives and some gains were there.

I really don't think CAI helps, the stock stuff is really nice (with K&N), but that’s just my opinion.

I’d think with a PI car it would be even more noticeable.

Make sure you reset the car’s computer after you install this stuff. . Don’t be discouraged if it runs funky right afterwards (high idle, smelling like gas, sluggish). The computer will fix itself in 100 or so miles and then you’ll see gains.

I would not bother to get a tune until you get to a point you are ready to stop, or you add FI, or you get to full boltons.

Great pre-setup part for a kennebell!!
Fuel pump, injectors and a diablo chip, you will be totally set.
