Performance gains.

Quick question...and I know this can get a lot of different answers.

I am running DC Sports Cermics and a Thermal R&D classic cat back. AEM Short ram intake.

What performance gain HP wise could I expect AT BEST from these mods.....also wondering what kind of 1/4 mile times would be possible if I was a decent driver.

being the basics, don't expect too much out of them. being generous, i'd say you can get 15hp out of all those.

hasnt the short ram been dyno'd to actually lose hp off a stock intake:confused: :confused:

You would definantly get better gains with a CAI

feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone

15hp seems reasonable, as it is a fairly high-strung engine to begin with. The short ram would probably lose power at low revs, but might gain it a high rpm. But if it isn't tuned properly, it could suck power everywhere. But in a highly modded engine, it might add power.

Yes, in some situations the short ram has been shown to actually lose HP. I'm not sure of the testing environment (temperature, altitude, etc) or the mods that the car had that was being tested.

With the mods I have, and a removed resonator, I don't think I would be losing any HP, though I am not sure if I am gaining many, or any for that matter.

I feel that it does not hurt my performance, however.

Now as for 1/4 mile times...any estimates?
