I have no personal experience with the SB, or any other performance inhancing products mentioned (my car is mechanically 100% stock). But I do believe Valkryderguy knocked nearly 1/2 a second off the documented (Automotive Magazine's Road Test) 1/4 mile time of 15.18 sec. for an automatic, with nothing more than a CAI installation.
I don't know how much H.P. is needed to go a 1/2 a second faster in the 1/4 mile, but for the price of a NeedsWings "CAI", I think most "drag racers" would call it a bargain.
I know I would have when I use to drag race.
