Is it worth it? somethin to ponder about..., ....small HP gain from mods Options

[No0bOne]

Seriously, do you think it's worth the 5-10hp gain from an intake or exhaust etc...that costs about 300-500$++? I'd say do other things on the car before deciding on adding some performance parts for it such as dropping it etc etc...Rather save up and turbo that baby with an engine built for it! Than you'll be seeing huge power gains. right...?

No, that's using Northwest TRD's(the manufacturer of that kit) data. They did a dyno test and at 5 psi it increased 45.4 horsies. That's where I ogt my data. With a correctly tuned engine laong with the recommended not included options ofr that kit such as a turbo timer, electronic boost controller, intercooler, boost guage, and an AFR guage....then you can expect much more. BUT, since I don't have the kit and no other data is shown, we have no idea of knowing for sure how much unless someone gives actual data and not just an estimate. Thanks for the comments, and yeah...for a bunch of 3sgte mods and what-not contact jhull over at toyotacelicas.com. He's got awesome ideas and a kickin ride.
