Default 70 hp from bolt ons?

Last night I was readingModified Mustangs magazine and there is an advertisement wherethey are stating the following is worth 70hp.

Web link http://www.blowbyracing.com/20mugtst2pep.html

"JLT Cold Air Intake
BBR / Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
SCT X cal 2 Handheld Tuner
Steeda IMRC Delete Plates
BBR O/R X-pipe

OVER 60-70 + Rear Wheel HP Power Gains !!"

I already have a C&L street CAI and SCT XCAL with a 93 b ama tune. So if I add delete plates, x pipe, ud pulleys, and get a custom dyno tune would I really be looking at a 70hp gain?Sounds optimistic to me.

If someone has these mods or knows what you think the real gain would be please share. Also say I added long tube headers and an aluminum driveshaft (I know no more power just more effiecient), to this list could I get 350rwhp?

My real goal is 400rwhp and was planning a S/C, but I think this would be way more reliable, cheaper, and I could put a 50-75 shot on it, if I think I needed it.

Just sounds too good to be true.

Thanks,

Howarmat do you know what you are putting to the wheels with your mods?

If you go N/A go spray. Quite a bit cheaper. I believe its around 25 or 30hp gain from the tuned CAI, 8 or 10 from the UDP...same for delete plates. Then another 8-12 from the X i believe. Could be close but magazines tend to overrate things. Id go with with Dwisforme05 on about 50hp.

so with the long tubes and aluminum driveshaft I might see +70 hp at the wheels if I am lucky?

I havent dynod mine yet but I plan on it soon. But figuring 260 rwhp from an 07 GT manual + 70hp would give me about 330rwhp best case.

Are there any other power bolt ons missing from my list?

Also what would that run in the 1/4 mile?

Thanks,

BBR's claim for their stage3 is more believable:

Now that's more like it!

How come both kits have the same gains? just a mistake

If it is they make the same mistake in their print adds too. It might be a little better if they didnt say rear wheel power. Fly wheel would be closer but still optimistic.
