Default How many horses?

I know it's hard to tell without a dyno, but I'm just wondering from the parts that I have right now on my mod list in my signature what I might be running at, and what parts would be really smart to go with next.

Don't you have to have a tune after install with the LT's?

no you can get by without one. The car will run, not optimally and might throw a CEL. Sometimes not though.....with the kooks being a mid length header, the CEL might not be triggered

+1 with Howarmat's estimate. We dyno, stock, around 265 RWHP. With your mods you may be picking up roughly:
  • 5 from the CAI
  • 1-2 from the TB
  • 0 from the mufflers
  • 5-10 from the headers
  • 1-3 from the X
These numbers may vary depending on the dyno, your latitude and longitude, religious beliefs and annual income.

+0hp from the TB spacer...

CEL = Check Engine Light.

You need to get a tune, you're being held back severely buy the stock tune. You should be able to hit 300whp or close to with that setup plus a tune.
