you will get close to it. I dynoed my car with just a
BBK CAI on it and I got 168 to the wheels. I put on a 70MMTB, 73mm MAF and a Diablo chip and I am getting 200rwhp and 235rwtq. They guy who did the chip said it only added 12rwhp so everything else added the power.
Don't trust people who go by Hearsay. Dyno results show it. Gears will get you in your RPM range quicker but it won't add any power that your car doesn't have.
Dynos can lie just like people, bud. The REAL results are @ the track (hence the comparison to gears, the only proven mod in this discussion).
I bet I can explain a big reason for your gain... Well, first off, were the conditions (humidity, temp, etc...) the same for both dyno runs? Did you rev the car to the same RPM on both runs, or did you rev higher for the second go-round?
Seeing as how you have the 73mm MAF, I am going to guess you have a C&L kit. If so, then you may very well be running that car on the dangerous side of too lean. C&L meters are notorious for making their power by leaning out the engine. Only problem with this is you mix high revs with no fuel and, well, you all get the idea.
Anywho, if you legitimately saw those gains, congrats but I'd say you are the exception to the rule. I only rolled the dyno for 170 rwhp @ 5100 rpm with the cai, duals and ASP pulley. Again, I just don't think these gains are realistic enough for them to be used as the selling point, but that's just me.

My problem with this is that his "projected" gain is great as a reference, nothing more. Noone can absolutely predict what one mod will do as far as the gains it will provide on each individual car. There's a good chance that you car responded better than 12 rwhp; for that matter, it could have been less. I just don't like the idea of making those blanket statements about gains, and then "assuming" the rest came from one source or another. I'm assuming he advanced the hell out of the timing and thats where alot of your power is coming from, at least where the chip is concerned. If so, your car may have respnded better to the advance than others.
