Yeah, we gain something like 8-9whp and 8ft-lbs of torque just with the intake. Header on the PZEV gains quite a bit also along with a 2.5" exhaust. I think Draxas was making 151/150 with a 2.25" exhaust and switched to a 2.5" and made 160/???. These engines are so choked off it isn't even funny to be honest with you.
