Absolutely, but to continue to play devil's advocate:
1)If an added 120 HP from an engine upgrade (V6 to V8) gains only tenths of a second, 20HP gain will do almost nothing. (IE. DON'T BUY THESE THINGS FOR ADDED POWER, because it's trivial)
2)From what I'm really hearing is that unless you plan to add a major modification (which >98% WILL NOT) minor upgrades like CAI and headers are cosmetic mods only.
3) The weigh difference Change in the V6 vs V8 camaro is only 2.8% but the power difference is 28%. If the power to wt ratio idea held up, we should see a BIG performance difference because the weight change is trivial but power increase is huge!
