The JLT 123 Pack for your ’07-’12 GT500 will result in the following gains:

Intake and Tune alone
07-09 GT500: 60-80 RWHP and 60-80 RWTQ
10-12 GT500: 30-50 RWHP and 30-50 RWTQ

In conjunction with the smaller pulley total gains will be:
07-09 GT500: 100-130 RWHP and 100-130 RWTQ
10-12 GT500: 50-70 RWHP and 50-70 RWTQ

Most cars will dyno 525-550 RWHP (depending on weather conditions) with intake, pulley, and tune installed. The ’10-’12 GT500 starts off higher due to the more aggressive factory calibration and factory intake, but end up in a similar place as  the ’07-’09 GT500 once these modifications are performed.
