Don't count on the oil giving you any more HP. If anything...maybe 1%. As for
the intake tube...maybe another 5HP.
Just remember, even though most parts state "UP TO xxHP gains", that doesn't
mean that you'll have the combined numbers as an increase.
Example (figures are an approximation and will vary on your specific vehicle):
K&N Gen-II Intake: 20HP
JBA Headers: 15HP
MSD Ignition: 10HP
Modified Throttle Body: 10HP
Cat-Back System: 10HP
Combined HP: 20+15+10+10+10=65HP (That's not how it works)
Real World HP Increase: Maybe 25-30HP but the efficiency factory goes up
Some items just compliment each other...as in: Intake Tube, Modified TB,
Headers, and Cat-Back system.
BTW: The 175HP Rating is at the crankshaft...not the rear wheels. Subtract 20-
25% for driveline loss (20% being a 5spd and 25% being an automatic) and that's
what you'll have at the rear wheels.
