Default basic modifications with #'s

So I was watching Horsepower TV today and just figured I'd jot down their conclusions.

They took a bone stock '92 5.0l notchback and dyno'd it at 191 rwhp.
then they changed the following:

-Distributor, Ignition, Optimum battery. 4 rhwp gain

-Cold air intake, 70mm Throttle body, High flow EGR plate. 9 rwhp gain

-Bbk equal length headers, 2 ½” Bbk x pipe with cats, Flowmaster American
Thunder 2 ½ “ exhaust. 14 rwhp gain

-Underdrive pullies. 5 rwhp gain


Just thought I'd share...

What order did they do the mods in? Those numbers almost seem a little high. I have a catted bbk h-pipe, mac 2.5" exhaust, underdrive pullies and dynoed at 202hp, 267tq.

They did them in the exact order as I listed them in. After every addition they would dyno the car to see the difference.

Chasis dyno in their shop, with a li'l research of their site I'm sure you could find out easily.
