Default HP gain questions for auto v6 05

hey guys i have been reading threads for like 2 weeks and i really want strong hp gain or "bang for buck" . i see pulleys and on here and only like 5 hp gain which really is not worth the money. so far i have a hypertch programmer, dual magnaflow exhaust, and a aem intake. any suggestions would be great thanks guys. also im not looking for anything crazy expensive like a supercharger but whatever is the best gains. thanks a lot!

Interesting mods, I was thinking about doing the same to mine to iinclude a pully. What do you think of your mods so far?

i love mine sounds so mean its just crazy. these pulleys just make me mad because everyone is putting out a lot of hard earned money for maybe 2 pulleys at 5 hp gain each. i just dont think its worth it.

not for nothing... the zex kit seems like it would be like the best thing u could do money wise out of anything.... its pretty affordable from what i have read and whatnot... then id maybe save for the gears and tlok..

The Zex Nitrous base kit is the best bang for the buck... You can safely get 100HP gain for under $600... that's under $6 a HP. A CAI on the other hand is close to $20 a HP... A S/C or T/C will run about $25 to $30 a HP... Now if you want consistent results with the Zex you'll want to add the Racers Kit which will add another $300... but that's still only $9 a HP...

if you get gears go ahead and get a T-Lok or True Trac installed too.....its well worth it. And if you havent already get the y pipe from your exhaust taken out and throw in a H or X pipe not expensive at all....maybe 150-175

Has anybody been able to show the HP gain by going from the single to a dual? I mean actual back to back runs on the dyno???
