I know this is somewhat hijacking this thread. BUT.... what kinda gains can be had from a turbo upgrade? Without meth?

$2500 turbo upgrades are a different world when talking about pulling the snorkel off the stock air box. The only thing pulling of the snorkel could do, if you can feed it cold air, is keep the power curve higher for a 100 rpm at the top of the rev range. This is on a stock tune with a K&N intake. Results are negligible IMO.

Probably 30-50 HP range depending what octane is avaiiable.  Z

I think the stock cai works well and any mods trying to get more sir that the engine dont need is a waste of time. And has been proven over n over on our cars. If we can add cooler air that would of course be good, however that vs cost has not made that a cheap alternative. In my experience and informal testing a aftermarket cai loses some on the low end from sucking in hot air gains an insignificant bit right before the shift, however the cone set up does sound good and may be worth the price of admission just for that!  Your milage may vary....
