03' Upgrade

I am in the process of purchasing a 03' MCS. Does anyone know what is different from 03' to 04' to get the extra few h.p.? I have been told it is a different pulley and airbox. I am looking to upgrage the 03'. Thanks in advance for the help.

No difference between 03 and 04, as far as I know. 05 MCS has 5 more horses.

I don't want to **** anyone off cause I am new but that extra h.p. in the 05's is due to computer re-map, different blower, exhaust, etc. right?

Computer remap. But what I recommend is the following:

1) 15% reduction pulley on supercharger
2) Cold Air Intake
3) Cat-back exhaust
4) Aftermarket ECU upgrade either via UNICHIP or MTH
