Save cash get a Tune or rear gears (And Nitrous

According to testing performed at Kenne Bell, the stock '05-up Three-Valve dual 55mm throttle body flows 890 cfm. Using the formula that 1 hp requires 1.5 cfm, we see that this stock throttle body might support as much as 593 hp, or way more than the factory-rated 300 hp.

Thanks for the Math,
I was told that there would be no horsepower gain but throttle response would probably increase a little.
Math Works!
