+1 on that^^^
You figure 10rwhp for the t/b and plenum, 5rwhp for CAI, 5rwhp for catback exhaust, 5rwhp for midpipe, 15rwhp for LT headers, 8rwhp for UD pullies. Thats 48rwhp added onto the stock 230rwhp for a 99-04 GT, and then the 48rwhp, so now you have a 278rwhp Stang. Alot of people think 5rwhp or so isnt nothing and aint worth it, but when you add it all up, it really helps.

Yea, it's worth it. Every little bit counts.

Yup, as stated by Nanaki and StickyShift, on a stock car those mods aren't worth it. Work on the exhaust instead where the most potential is wrapped up.
A CAI on the 05+ and a Tune really wakes them up but 04 and below...not worth it without working on other parts first.

Its worth it to me. But its only worth it if you go 75 i think. 65mm stock to 70mm doesnt seem like that big of a deal plus its like $10 more to go with a 75mm. It improves throttle response and sounds really cool and throaty when you pair it with a good CAI. . . . yeah i noticed maybe 10 rwhp or more. It was a big enough deal to make me glad i bought them . .
