i realize that it does differ slightly for each car but i have a 03 track non revup and i am looking at the mrev2 lower intake, 5/8" spacer, aem cold air, test pipes, and possibly kinetix upper manifold...what should i expect out of this?? (whp/wft/lbs) i have a stillen exhaust....thanks in advance!
dont get a cold air intake.... it might even make you lose power. Go with the JWT popcharger, K&N filter in stock box, or upgrade to the '06 stock box since they have a venturi ring which makes the airflow better to the plenum, or the more $ one's such as stillen, ARC, K&N.
id say all those mods should put you 25 to 30whp over stock.

get the plenum spacer and skip the Kinetix manifold.
intake wise, it makes 0 difference what you run - so it's your call there, short ram, cold air...all will net you similar gains
also I don't see a UTEC or any means of tuning there, and that is the thing that will really wake it up. Post tuning, expect about 260 whp

IMO, those mods will give you little to nothing. Except the test pipes, the rest will simply just empty your wallet. If you really want noticeable power, save for a turbo kit. I don't see the point in those mods. (except the test pipes)

...after reading all the responses..if youre gonna completely replace the stock intake manifold...bite the bullet. Pre-order a Cosworth intake manifold for a Grand. It looks like it will be the best intake related product to come across our little community. Stillen exhausts havent shown any power gains but I have seen dynos showing some of AAM's exhaust products to produce power. Correct me if im wrong? cause i have seen AAM claiming "20 hp" gains on their intakes lol..

honestly...theres no point in buying all that stuff if you are going to eventually go FI. most if not all of it will be replaced by the turbo kits parts.
so i think your wasting your money if you do buy all that stuff

or if youre a poor man like myself, Motordyne MREV2 and 5/16th's inch plenum spacer. Biggest difference bolton for revup engines like ours ;]
and for you, boosted, just do a Jim Wolf Popcharger and a 5/16ths plenum spacer, maybe a test pipe. all cheap power adders. wont be hackin off seconds on your quarter mile....but it will be quicker and a lil more fun to drive.
