Default Mod HP calculation ?

I am preparing to do small mods to my 03 coupe such as intake, TB bypass and exhaust. And would like to check the increase or decrease in HP using a Gtimer GT2. Is it necessary to do the idle relearn process to get accurate readings or is there any length of time or miles for the engine control module to adjust to the mod?

Yes for the intake. The TB bypass is a waste of money per several previous posts.

:iagree:

Install the intake of your choice, if you install exhausts buy the one you like the best for sound and looks you won't gain very much in the HP dept.

:iagree: Headers/high flow cats give the most h/p gains. Not much to be had from just the cat-back :cheers:
