Realistic gains

[smitdavi]

Finally got around to finishing up my Mac exhaust setup and ordered some mac unequal shorties and the prochamber mid pipe. Even splurged for a 70mm BBK throttle body and trick flow elbow. Realistically, what kind of gains would you expect to see? I'm not crazy and don't expect huge improvements, but do you think I would feel a noticeable difference in the car and throttle response? Will probably get around to bolting up the explorer intake as well.

You can look to get 20-25 hp right of the bat but if if you put good tune you can look closer to 30. Advance timing and add fuel pressure to maybe 32-35 psi. Bigger throttle will give a slight increase in throttle response but more air means your going to need more fuel

I would say maybe ten to the tire.

You should have gone with an accufab TB and plenum instead.

Youre well on your way to a good hobby. Power gets expensive, but keep in mind....your money spent on bolt ons will not out perform a whole lot of vehicles on the road today.

Long as you set your mind to "its a good hobby" despite the short comings of your money spent, youll fare well with an awesome car and enthusiasm with a big following.

10rwhp at the most. Your butt dyno will notice a difference!

That's true, for instance a new Camry with the 3.5 V6 has 268 HP so a 2v is already outgunned stock lol.

So sad! I tell ya what though....pull them 4.6l pistons out in favor for cobra flatops....itll come to life!

I'm convinced my F150 would make a fool out of a PI-swapped car.
