I think that is the biggest crock of ****, hell if they gained that much from doing that stuff my cam must have given me at least 100hp gain at the wheels.

I wonder how much they gave them under the table to make such claims?

I would believe it...........I lost 20 hp with 1 bad wire, they must have started with 3 bad wires. I understand the stock wires are pretty damn good. As far a the MAF, maybe if the stock one was bad or unplugged they would see those gains by using one.

I think it would be better if you spent your $ on a throttle body spacer!
