Default What kind of boost can I expect?

I plan on getting a CAI intake/tuner combo for my stang along with the Pypes dual exhaust conversion kit. Can anyone give me an idea of what kind of gain I'm going to see and feel? Also I've read somewhere but I'm not positive can the tuner take 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times? And if I'm sitting at 210hp stock now, what number roughly do you think I can get up to with those upgrades?

Probably around 230-240 if you have good tuner..And Boost refers to a form of Forced Induction either a Supercharger or Turbocharger..Horsepower/torque is what you should have put instead of boost.

Yeah I knew boost meant that but I guess it can be a little misleading haha.

I have those exact mods on mine, and I'd say about 20hp gain

How do you feel on the difference from stock to the upgrades Pwells? Night and day difference or what? And can the SCT tuner with the CAI combo on AM take quarter mile times?

did you run a lean code with the BBK intake?

With a tune alone my 1/4 ET`s went from 15.81 to 15.30. My 0-60 went from 7.7 to 7.0.

Immediate power + very quick, firm shifts on the auto and HP gains made it a different car to drive. Enjoy yours.

I mean, you can feel the difference a little, but it's not too noticeable, although I love hearing the CAI sucking in the air, it makes a really cool whistle sound.
