you should see ~60rwhp gain from all that. That being said, you should really get a dyno tune after all that instead of a crappy hypertech tune.

Agreed, don't skimp on the tune. Not just for power, but for the life of your car as well.

What makes you say that? No way in hell will that happen.

Ive seen plenty of cars pull 280-290rwhp after head work and cams along with all the other bolt ons if thats what your questioning.

The head work isn't worth the $$$$ on a mild N/A car. Put some money into the suspension or you'll get blown away by cars with a lot less HP

I kind of agree. The port and polish isn't worth the money on a NA car. +1 on suspension.

I wasn't questioning at all. I was going on record stating the 60 hp from posted mods wasn't going to happen. No way in hell on an NA car without other motor work. I just wanted to clairify my position because you were confused.
