Of yes of course there are cheaper ways to make some extra ponies but i was more responding to the OPs comment that the box didn't make any more power and you couldn't heel/toe with it.

If you're happy with around 300ish whp then those mods plus headers will get you there. With those mods (no e85) I put down 310rwhp which was fine but now i want to get into the 330-350whp range. That requires cams and a airbox to get them the air they need.
https://thebuildjournal.com/reviews/...-dyno-results/

330-350whp is easy attainable with a good tune, headers, and intake and the right fuel i
If buildjournal can get 335whp with a 91 octane catted tune, euro cats in section 1, euro headers, and a restrictive eventuri intake and e57 fuel then imagine what could be done be done with a good 91 octane custom tune, headers, no secondary cats, RPI scoop, and e85 kit.. TTFS made 341whp on the stock airbox with a custom e85 tune. CSL box is not required for 330+whp, good fuel/tune, and adequate exhaust flow will give the same results with less chance of detonation in the motor. I have have the dyno which I would be happy to email anyone, bone stock s54 made 304whp on the dyno when we were testing for the AFD kit back in 2017 Baseline was 271whp.
