its good if you have good heads ( 99+) not so effective on the 96-98 GTs and it does GREAT things to a super charged car. you might see 10rwhp from full intake on a stock 99 GT

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

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.

and if that were the case, there would be a lot more stangs running around with 300+ hp n/a...

I doubt you get that much power from any of those except for the midpipe and LT's...

no, not really. it gives much better throttle response, but that's about it. don't expect very many gains out of it. i've got all boltons other than cams & LTs with a vortech running 10psi. i picked up a whopping 7RWHP 10RWTQ. when i had the accufab (6) on there, i actually picked up a couple ponies less (so much for accufab's best gains guarentee). i stayed with the accufab for looks though.
