i can prove to you that an upgrade intake does not give you a big HP boost, i have dynos of friends stock 03 gt vs my stock 01 bullitt,i make 2 more hp then him and 1 more lb/tq.
the only difference you can feel is throttle responds slightly faster and at 4k rpm i pull a tad more then him.
they can bias a dyno to show whatever they want as long as BBK sends them a nice fat check.
now mind you im just talking about manifold not a cold air intake... we both had KN filters on the car just different intake manifolds.

The gains are not nearly that dramtic IRL. your not going to make 250 WHP from a stock 99-04 with just pulleys/cai and a 75mm t/b.

You could probably make this though with say a midpipe/catback and the above stuff with a plenum.

well good video but it didnt work out for me. I am at the elevation of 5,800 ft in Denver and I got 233 whp on a baseline tune. No adjustments made. So I am guess with a real dyno tune i could gain 20 more hp easy to the wheels. So it might be correct
