The car went from 411rwhp/411rwtq, to 541rwhp/532rwtq. That's a gain of 130 hp and 120 tq to the WHEELS. From a pulley, intake and tune. I can't think of any other car in the world that can gain 130hp to the wheels for $1000 in parts.

That is impressive.
I've always had the idea that it was generally easy to easily boost up torque/HP on cars that came factory equipped with either a turbo or supercharger, as the factory generally doesn't run the boost very high, and it is very easy to increase boost, for more HP. I heard of someone sticking a needle into a vacuum/boost line to somehow trick the system into giving alot more boost, i.e. power. I think it was a turbo RX7 or Eclipse or something like that.
