Stock vs TBE + MBC + EcuFlash

Is there a true night and day difference between completely stock vs basic mods.

I have a 2006 GSR se, and im about to put everything on at the same time, and im hoping for a major improvement.

Parts ready to be installed:
Invidia 2.9" 02 housing
Invidia 3" downpipe
Invidia 3" testpipe
Greddy Titanium 3" exhaust
Ecu Flash
Greddy Boost, Greddy water temp, Greddy oil pressure.
Aem Uego Wideband
Forged Boost Controller (plan to set around 20-23psi)
Walbro Fuel Pump

The car stock has awesome low/mid range power, but definally lacks in top end. Does the TBE help with the topend? Im not expecting a topend monster.

Yes you car will be completely different.

Granted it won't be a world beater but not much out there will be next to you with those mods and a tune.

I have searched, i have been staring at dynos..

most dynos though a mis-leading.

IXs dynoing 300-330whp with stock exhaust just boost controller vs IXs with cams dynoing the same.

Reason for the post: Im a honda guy, I know most hondas with i/h/e wont truely changed the entire dynamics of the car.
My other car k20 + ITR isnt completely different, until i returbo it again :P.

You are probably seeing a difference between dynos. From what I know, Dynapac will read the highest, then Dynojet, then Mustang. Try to do some comparisons from the same shop.

My stock IX was at 255 hp and 260 tq on TopSpeed's Dynojet.

Yea there was a night and day difference with my car. I made 330whp and 330wtq on a dynojet dyno with a 24.5 psi spike. holding about 22psi. My baseline numbers were 275whp and 252wtq. The torque difference is awesome the car pulls like an animal from first gear. Also whats nice is that the car feels strong until it redlines...

The whole dyno comparsion is a pissing match bascially.

Ive personally see a dyno dynanmics read higher then a dyno jet. Any shop can "produce numbers" playing with there dyno.

I remember seeing a shop that pumped cold a/c air into the intercooler/engine bay to cool down everything. I remember seeing every car that dynoed there have 20-30percent more power. insane.

I can only imgaine 100whp more.

When i had my itr 360whp 10psi felt totally different then 460whp (14psi), but the car never had traction so it really effected the way it felt.

those mods are definitely noticeable. i did exhaust, filter, mbc, and flash all seperately as money became available and the most noticeable mods were the mbc and the flash.

mustang dynos read lower than dynojets...so if you compare, make sure they're coming from at least the same type of dyno

IXs are MORE responsive to basic mods when compared to VIIIs
