General rule of thumb with most cars... the more hp it has, the more it potentially gains for adding similar parts.

Ie.when I had my cavalier nearly 2 decades ago, dyno 86 hp to the wheels. An intake at max back then may get you to 91. Do the full Tribeca of basic bolt ons, intake headers and exhaust. You might get 15-20hp.

But once you get to cars pushing nearly 3 times that amount, the gains from those 3 parts on the more powerful car net maybe 15-40 hp in the end.

But it's all relative to all the other variables.


And def in the same boat...EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE PARTS.

I seriously was doubting whether the aftermarket was gonna stay the drizzling sh**S for this car and questioned myself on should I have gotten a mustang.....many times.

When I see posts asking "whats the best intake, exhaust, etc" .... the answer to that is like a grandfather telling his grandkids "if you put salt on a birds tail, it'll let you catch it" #ThinkAboutIt
