The intake isn't going to give you any more than maybe a couple WHP as well.Especially if you're already going from the VR. YES!! the cold air you have there outperforms the VR on the dyne but again not more than a couple WHP..
The removal of the cats is worth about 10WHP generally speaking but thats the only mod I'm not 100% on,as i personally speaking did mine together with other mods.
that Leaves the rest of those gains to be attributed to the manifold.
All I know is I REALLY WANT TO TRY THIS..
I'd like to get as much info as possible before I commit.Anything else at all that could of been missed that maybe helped attribute to the power gain???
thats it bud and i agree on the intake stuff i just wanted a full 4" from manifold to filter and at that point the expensive TB was the only thing left to buy lol and i shaved down that nasty little lip on the lower shell that sticks up in the runner other than that i did not touch any other part of the manifold

You didn't gasket match the lower shell even? If not, I think there's even more power left on the table between that and porting the runners a bit.
