Note:
I write this without extremely technical knowledge buy with the support of some research I have done as well as personal experience in an effort to provide simple buy useful information, and welcome commentary.
Total of 15-hp & 15 lb. ft of torque increase (at least - in my humble and hopeful opinion):
I should be able to achieve this through the use of synthetic oil as well as a K&N air filter.
In speaking with the manufacturers of Royal Purple (I do not suggest this is the best synth. oil, but it seems to be high end) synthetic oil and looking at DYNO tests on their website http://www.synerlec.com/dyno.html the MDX should be able to achieve at least 5-hp / 5 lb. ft increases up to about 10-hp/lb.ft. See their testimonials link as well for more supporting (if not one-sided) information.
I have spoken with K&N, my performance auto shop, read the testimonials, http://www.knfilters.com/feedback.htm, (filters, not fuel injection performance kits FIPK), and received a response in a thread from gto-dave, all of which support a 5-15 hp/lb.ft increase from the filter alone.
Gas mileage increase of 4+MPG
See the above links for testimonials. I expect at least 2 MPG from the filter and oil.
I currently use a fuel additive (which I market - thus not naming and not looking to promote) and assume you can find one too that increases fuel economy by 15-20% as tested with friends and acquaintances.
I will report real-world results with the MDX as soon as possible after my baby arrives, hopefully within 10 days.
My photos will include the elusive Front Bar and Tail Light Guards.
I love this site, learn a lot, and hope I've contributed.
