Weight loss obviously ANY weight reduction has a + impact on pwr/wt
Electric water pump i recall this advertised at about 5 RWHP but someone claimed dyno #'s around 10. I'd take the 5 and be happy
You seem to be the ANTI-HP..nothing makes any HP according to you. Someone already posted with the Steeda underdrive pulley he made 10whp and 8rtq. I dont even see any mods in your sig that you are always saying make no power..So where do you grab these dumb #'s I made 15rwp more with just my tuner and intake from stock. But I am sure you wont believe that

upper/lower control arms, maybe start diving into the brakes and fuel system?

I also lowball horsepower estimates on simple bolt-on parts and I'm usually right.

I saw the post that you're referring to regarding the 10 RWHP from UDP's and I plus the rest of the forum would love to believe it. But considering the # of members that report little to no gain (a sensitive butt dyno should be able to feel 4 or more RWHP), I'm not convinced that 10 RWHP from UDP's is realistic. The other numbers are also from member info.

I'm not sure why you think I'm anti-HP. I'm simply passing on what I've seen documented and heard. Of course, i COULD give you the manufacturers overinflated #'s.

A good CAI & tune on a '10 should provide 15 RWHP since your stock tune is already about 10-12 RWHP over the 05-09's. Not sure why you think I don't believe 15 RWHP.

If you don't want my input, just say so.

I've read posts about UDP's falling apart, so I'm a bit hesitant to buy them. They have 'em on sale though for like $209.

UDP's give 10RWHP? If only life were that easy..........

A good tune is the biggest bang for buck and the OP has that already. The rest of the bolt on's are worth fractions of that per item although the feel good factor is nice.
LT's might make the thing sound better and will be worth a few HP but for the price and install costings they are something you really want to install because you have the money burning a hole in your pocket.
Cams are logically the next step but even then it's a give-take thing with low end torque suffering slightly, plus, I'm not entirely happy with the long term effects of forcing an inefficient burn (lope) with, as I'm led to believe, poor valve timing at idle by design.
