Dyno, For all you...yeah Options

[snadman]

For all of you people who STILL feel that exhaust, plugs, and intake will add amazing ammounts of horsepower...I'm going to a dyno on the 28th of June. I will make sure to find this thread and post the graphs so you can see my car isn't a supercar with just those mods. I'm just getting kinda sick of people saying their intake's going to add 15HP, because it's not. I'm sick of people saying that exhaust adds 15HP, cuz it doesn't. AND I'm sick of people saying that plugs make so much more of a difference...

-For the intake, I may see a few HP, nothing big though or noticeable.
-Exhaust same as intake...you're actually just freeing up HP you already had with better flow (learned the exact details from Exhaust 101 in Import Tuner)
-Plugs...may add something, but not much. I've seen it where plugs don't do anything, but I've also seen minimal HP increases. I'm guessing it won't be anything and basically upgrading to expensive plugs on an NA Celica isn't going to help much.

**PLEASE don't take my whole plugs rant seriously if you run nitrous or turbo. You guys need good plugs, cold plugs! This is for NA Celica's only!

Those numbers seem ridiculously high, though if the stock intake was a styrofoam block they could be reasonable. But, I'd rather see real dyno sheets from individuals than stats from a magazine like "Import Tuner." Intake/exhaust does very, very little for NA engines. Intakes work on the premise of increasing air flow, which they do to a very minor degree, but only so much air can go through the throttle body -passively-...and intakes don't do much to help that. That's the reason why people focus on turbos when they're actually serious about making power, because turbos actually force air through the throttle body.
