I put the gears, headers, catback flows, elec fan and pulleys on at the same time. Felt it big time. You may feel a little bit in the seat of your pants, but you'll definately hear it. And the sound is GOOD! I have a hard time believing the hp claims of pipe and muffler manufacturers, among many other mods. It's kind of like "instant engine overhall in a bottle", if you know what I mean. And people have a tendancy to add up all the hp claims of the smaller mods they've installed, thinking that these hp figures added together can be expressed in rwhp. You will notice increases with gears, headers, even getting rid of the air silencer. But you won't notice that much until you go to h/c/i. You won't need a dyno to tell you that you just installed some heads, cam and intake.
