30whp gain on a lightly modified setup. More gain as you have more mods. It's up to you if its worth it or not.
yup next big bang for your buck..... just depends what you really want also could gain more than that with a custom tune

I'm not saying DP's might not give you a 30WHP in a single gear dyno run, cause it might but once heat soak kicks in your IAT's will be through the roof on a stock FMIC. That's why I always find the FMIC to be the better first mod as you get consistent back to back pulls, which is something you wont get on a stock FMIC.

Really the best way to mod is all at once or shortly after with the next mod.

I’m not saying there are no gains to be made…but they are a huge tradeoff (IMO) you can pick up more power for the same price (DP + install) vs a meth setup that you can install yourself in 3 hours, and there are no tradeoffs!

I decided to go e85 route instead of meth, with the Fuel-It stg 2 drop in pump and a ~70% e85 to 91 mix I put down 418/438 on map 7 with BMS pump flash.

Didn't trust meth, E85 is easy to find so why not

Everybody has their own preferences
