Oh definitely. In fact, my assumption is that my car made more than 254whp when it was bone stock. Because think about it, if I really gained a combined +37 from the CBE and HFCs, then that means that ricer math actually worked (18+19=37). But it's called 'ricer math' for a reason -- gains seldom work that way. As one adds more mods, one should expect diminishing returns.

On the other hand . . . after I added the Stillen G3 intake and went back to that same dyno, I pulled 306.4whp, which is a gain of 15whp. Stillen claims 17.5whp for these intakes. Now, Stillen uses a DynoJet, whereas my gain of 15whp was measured on a DynoDynamics, which usually measures a little lower than DynoJet. Point being, it would appear that ricer math did in fact work when I put the G3 intakes on. So I don't know what the deal is with my car. But I'm not complaining.
