Even if it adds a true 15 hp... you'd never be able to feel that... you're talking a 5% change... butt dyno lies and isn't that sensitive. I'm pretty good at feeling changes because I know my cars so well but even still, I back it up with data logs to make sure. Usually when I feel a change it's pretty serious though... ie way more than 5% I'd say.

We did get a 10 plus HP between a filter and no filter but that was w 383 making 420 RWHP. Obviously, running the car without a filter is not good but there you have it. Since I have the hood scoop because the HSR doesn't fit, I ran a K&N conical filter attached to the TB

I don't. I'd rather have a hot girl fondle it for me as long as she is legal age. That will do for a start

500 HP. Look at his description

Package include: Turbine + Brushless 40A ESC(Electronic Speed Control)

Noticeon't wiring the turbine directly to Power.This have to connected up Driver ESC electronic speed control.

Don't Let the turbine contact with car iron part(because of other iron part also negative electrode "-")
Maybe he'd trade one of them for Huked on Fonix?

Cutting the stock lid will yield a few HP but only when your foot is on the floor. Under all other conditions, the throttle body/throttle valve is the real intake restriction. So don't bother cutting the lid or wasting your money on a CAI. If you want to increase power, follow the other suggestions: headers, cam, etc. Even a proper dyno tune will yield better results than a cut lid, assuming the tuner knows what they are doing LOL.
