wow it took me a year to convince my wife for the air induction kit and tuner. Anyway you the man! I've heard that the headers alone , the long tube ones bring 30 horses but really I'm a long time member but sure the hell not a mech.

i dont know what SOTP means ...but i can tell you that the car is an amazing difference in the sound...it is nice...and the performance.
With these mods, the stock version would not have a chance. it is so fast

i'll bet doing all that at one time makes it seem like a different car. i've been adding mine one at a time so i know how much each one is gaining me(e.t.). i haven't been on the dyno yet so i'm antsy to see what i'm up to. did they dyno yours?

I can only imagaine jumping into my car after those mods have been installed at one time. What a difference that must be!
