Exactly. I dont get why one person belives that you can get 90whp from a simple intake/full exhaust + tune on a mustang dyno. I have all the bolt ons on my 350 and i wanted to stay NA so i picked up everything that gave me more area under the curve rather than focusing on peak hp. The UD pulleys gave me an extra 7whp but made throttle response more crisp. Anyways King David needs to know that this is not a 4g63 or a 2jz or a LS motor where simple mods give big gains. The VQ no matter which form is almost fully tuned from the factory. Bolt ons usually will add some hp but mostly it serves as a sound and cosmetic upgrade.
