thank you someone said it!!!! The gains all companies list are usually the ones from a vehicle that achieved the most. I'm sure AEM got 10hp from a car that had crappy intake and really benefited from it. Gude probably got their 50 or 48 on a car that really needed it. Bottom line is that you will not see gains anywhere near what you expect. I don't want to be an ass, but your hp calculations and expectations are huge. You want to get a gude that gives 50hp and turba that gives +100hp to have 300 hp. You will never see 300hp, I can assure you that right now. The only way you will even break 200 is if you get a turbo.

The gude package for the f23/22 WILL NOT GET YOU 50hp. Its liek when u mess around with high hp motors such as big domestics. You change one minor thing and the power flies up tremendously. Well honda put a lot of engineering to squeeze every once of power from their small motors and there just isn't too much we can simply do to the engines to get more. Thats why almost everyone here will tell you to get a turbo becasue that is the only thing that will show significant gains. I'm sure you can get a lot more if someone built your engine proffesionally but few have that kinda cash. Forget about gude man.
