Bolt-ons = more HP, What about measurable acceleration improvements?

I suppose the takeaway for me is that one can do the the bolt-ons for a few, varying reasons:

1) slowly add improvement on improvement until the gains are considerable
2) do the bolt-ons because you enjoy the process or aesthetic improvements
3) need the bolt-ons as a primer for other, larger modifications

In the end, a single bolt-on modification alone is really only beneficial if you're changing an aesthetic (exhaust sound) or prepping for some other addition (turbo, etc). If you think just putting on an intake or a HFC alone is going to make your car noticeably faster, you're really just fooling yourself.
