it was a 2.0 but 1500 is cheap considering if you try to stay NA. Gaining about 10 HP is not bad if you remember most of the parts that go in our car loses some power.

I have seen many a posts about all parts from Mugen to Toda to VAFC tuning and some people gain and some don't. The only positive gain is FI. At least that is a guarantee. So if I buy all the Mugen parts and spend 4-5k wouldn't it have been better to just go FI? So if I buy a Comptech CAI, DC ceramic Header, and a Spugen TI exhaust spend less than 2k. I still have money left over for the 4.57's. Is 5hp really worth it. Maybe to you but not to me.

I will agree with you. That is why we can go 13:1 compression and stroke it out to 2.3L. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 280HP++

Still, an intake is nice to have, even though the difference doesn't seem significant on the dyno.
