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

Yeah, half a second is huge.

Rough math here but if you pass the finish line at a constant 105 mph you will have traveled 77 feet from the line in half a second, which is roughly the length of 5.5 370Zs positioned nose-to-tail.

Dude... that's nothing. I ran my then stock Mustang GT against an IHRA "top fuel" style dragster at a T&T. My 13.9 @ 100 was nothing for his 6.xx @ 200 mph test run.

Can't believe they let me do that but I will never forget it. So awesome.
