Guys, does everyone here understand that every horse counts?
And Scott, I am evaluating different things for now. Definitely hard to argue with the scoop - you gain 4-5 horses - that's dyno proven, so that's a no-brainer. Exhaust is another story - have to consider the sonic attributes as well...
And I know what the SB does, but it did improve the low end pick up in lower gears in my case IRL as it actually speeds up the opening of the throttle, due to it's amplification qualities, which results in snappier take offs. And maybe it's just my clutch, but I feel it now grabs sooner, so that's just an added benefit. All on all, SB is one helluva arguement FOR drive-by-wire gas pedals

For me? I can accept any mod that returns a proven 1HP/per $50 spent - anything above that is a waste of $$$ So, with that in mind, $799 for 5hp is a huge waste. Better to get the RPI exhaust and scoop and filter - isn't that like 20HP gain?
