...a stock 05 GT had a CAI and the BBK throttle body added, and just from that they dyno'd it at 328 RWHP...
That will never happen.

I dont care what the article says, no one on here has had anywhere close to those gains and most have problems with the TB...They dont show A/F ration either, I would like to see that added to the graph.....you cant get that much HP without running extremely lean i would think.

To answer s197richie's question above, I just don't want to be beaten by a Mazda... so I would be happy with another 25 HP or so, nothing too radical.

In addition to the CAI, get udps, CMCV and o/r pipe with a new tune from Brenspeed or Bamachips.....

And I've also not seenanyone even come near to those results with just a TB.

If you don't want to go FI, get some spray! I am considering that even with my SC.

Well gears will really help you kick some ***, because in all honesty, you probably have more hp than that damn mazda, just you weigh lots more and the gearing is all bad.

Thanks for all the suggestions... but I am not familiar with all the acronyms... can someone tell me what CMCV is?
Also, I did get a tune using the Diablo Predator, but it was the somewhat mild 87 octane tune - it did make for a big improvement though.
