Typically you will need bolt-ons that increase intake air flow and exhaust flow in order to achieve significantly higher horsepower numbers. Horsepower is relevant on the top end and when you're at higher RPM you need more flow to exceed what the factory spec is. That's why many Auto Parts manufacturers will state that their air filter or their exhaust system will give you 10 or 20 extra horsepower just by itself. That's partially true but it makes that gain all the way on the very top end, which for most cases is unusable. It takes a tune to bring that power back down into the middle and utilize the added air flow.
I would also like to know what gear this pull was done in. For that matter, what gear is considered the one-to-one gear in this vehicle?
