The biggest problem of this post I have is that you can't just add HP figures for mods together and quote that as HP. It doesn't work that way. 14HP just for a popcharger? what are you, nuts? (no offense though, just rhetoric). You'll probably get about 15-20hp with a popcharger/intake coupled with a y-pipe.

I just want to dispell the myth that you can just add these figures together. It just doesn't work like that. Its more like a square root of the sum of sqares kind of thing (think pythagorean theorem) for flow improvements. An ECU upgrade can likely just be added normally as can NOS. All the other figures I agree to though and more or less agree with the rest of the post.
Like I said read the fine print, I know that some of the numbers will vary and I've looked at many different vehicles some dynoed, some not and even some of the dynos I looked at with the popcharger showed in the neighborhood of 10+hp with the intake, so again I said read the fine print. (no offense, taken, none given back)
