Back when i was into working on cars we had relatively easy access to a dyno, my 2.0L b18C5 with a $700 edelbrock intake mani and full exhaust system headers back, catless, plus whatever intake i was running at the time was a gain of like fuck.. 22HP with a tune using a chipped ECU and chrome?
buddies 5.0 mustang saw a 34HP gain from straight pipes and a cone filter that cost like 1/4 of my stupid bolt ons
You cant tell me there is room for gains on a 2.0L engine making 280HP FACTORY TUNED, unless your throwing in new turbos etc. its the definition of diminishing returns
