I know there is probably threads on this but i put it in the search and mostly the question i put was mostly about gt's so i was just wondering what kind of real world power you get from a intake manifold spacer, throttle body spacer, bbk intake, long tube headers, high flow magnaflow mufflers? like i said im sure this has been asked before i just couldnt find it so sorry/
For one a throttle body spacer gives you a big fat ZERO. They are best off used as a paper weight.
An intake spacer can get you up to 7hp across the power band and 2hp at the peak. A CAI can get you 3-5hp. A catback exhaust will pull in around 5-10hp. I have no idea about longtubes.
Given that the car gains less hp with each successive mod, all of those should put you at an extra 20-25hp if you are tuned for it.
I'm pretty sure someone will chime in with more accurate numbers.

I would say close to 50 hp. With all that stuff you mentioned you have to account for each thing. Exhaust is 5-10%, headers are another 5-10%, and intake is close to 10%. I'd say you would most likely be right there with the V8.
You cannot use ricer math...... You can't even purchase an intake for the V6's......
I put that stuff on mine minus the intake and the performance is night and day. You can feel it right away. All I want to do now is race people!
How much hp do those cobra emblems get ya? I'm pretty sure your engine is a sohc 4.0 and probably responds to mods differently then our pushrode 3.8s. Even then I can't see gaining 50hp with a few minor bolt-ons. Also did you have to get a custom tune for the CAI and catback or r u using a canned tune?

+1, ricer math is about as accurate as a blind sniper.
as for the intake, the '10's have the same sohc 4.0L as the 05-09's.

classic case of the placebo effect.
the 4.0's do, however, respond very well to an intake&tune.
and...a little off topic, but your car is effing sweet.

all of that will probaly give you less than 20hp to the crank
intake manifold spacer - about 5hp
CAI - less than 3hp
LT headers - around 5-10hp
high flow magnaflow mufflers - less than 5hp
Hand held tuner makes all the difference when i got my gears and t lock i got a tuner at the same time and it really woke my car up. I would recommend a tuner to anybody. My buddy has a 92 lx 5.0L and has drove my car some and after we put the tune in it he was shocked how fast it picked up. it made a huge difference.
what kind of power
