Default Possible Horsepower Estimate?

Hey guys i have been enjoying my GT for a few months now and the curiosity is killing me. Since i really dont want to spend the money to get it dynoed, I was wondering if anyone here could give me a decent HP guess-timate?

Mods:
Aftermarket Underdrive pulley
K&N CAI
forged pistons
forged rods
stage one comp cams
aluminum driveshaft
Diablosport 91 octane tune
JBA stainless steel longtube headers
O/R H pipe
MAC mufflers
adjustable LCA
adjustable UCA
steeda anti roll bar

i think thats it except for aesthetic mods

thanks

do I have to do the math for you? According to the advertised hp increase
k&n CAI with tune- 35 hp
cams - 30 hp
headers - 22 hp
UDP - 10 hp
alum driveshaft - 10 hp
off road exhaust - 10 hp

add it all up..... 120 hp increase bro!

Just kidding, I have no clue

I'll say you're looking at about a 40 RWHP increase for about 305 RWHP but that's low only because of the Diablo tune. IMO, a good Brenspeed or BAMA tune will give you an additioanl 5-10 RWHP just over the Diablo tune and another 5-10 or more to compliment the cams. Done right, those mods should have you putting down in the 315-320 range.

Now that you're forged, are you planning on FI? (say yes...)

This is why I don't bother with all those bolt ons because I hate seeing how all the money spent (Headers, cams, minor bolt-ons, and the install cost) you might as well put a blower on it. With all that you still won't be putting up the impressive numbers a blower can give you. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So u really believe that a CAI adds 35. And cams and headers r around 30 tops. Don't let advertisement lead u on

I tried to make it as obvious as possible that I'm being sarcastic. I even said "just kidding", can you seriously not tell?

Just get it dyno'd. Or better yet, take it to the strip. Power is no fun if you can't use it.

If I had to guess;
Stock: ~260rwhp
Intake + Tune: ~280rwhp
Cams + Headers & Exhaust: ~310rwhp
UDP's: ~315
1piece DS: ~320
Could be 10hp more, could be 10hp less. But that's ballpark imho.
