for those of you who have somewhat modded your cars, how much hp / torque did you guys gain?

i/h/e.. throttle body, cams, pulleys, wires, bassically anything you can do. ( N/a not nos or turbo)

This is a D17 motor your talking about here. The motor that hates to be modded.
Even if you put a CAI on a Ford 4.6, your still only going to get around 8-10hp gain. What you have there is a classic example of companies not knowing how to market their products or giving you false advertising. What most companies do is, test their CAI or SRI or pullies or whatever they have on a numerous amount of vehicles. And, whatever vehicle gave them the best gain in hp figures, thats what goes on the box. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
