All are minimal gains, but all of which will add up... Especially when you add a intake, chip, and pulley.

According to a few of the tuners the ported plenum gains a little at the top end but you do lose some much needed torque. I have not tried it so just passing along the info Eaton.

The fan gives around 10 hp but you will probably need the cobra pump to go with it, not sure if there is enough room for the stock one. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

The catback, who knows, mine did not hurt and I feel I gained some hp.

Water pump is very easy to do. Many have replaced but is not necessary when using some of the electric fan kits on the market.

Real easy. Has an o ring instead of the old gasket stuff. Just pop it in there.

Some say yes, some say no. As long as your e fan kit works without it you should be ok. Gonna fit this stuff before Saturday? If so you should get a new best time
