We need to know what you are driving and what other mods you have already. On a stock 99-04 I'd guess maybe 5hp.

CAI aren't one of the big HP boosters, on a stock car they might give you 2-4 hp at the wheels

Unless its an 03-04 cobra or some supercharged saleen or roush, you arent gonna get more then 7 or 8. Of course if it is one of the three cars I mention as excepetions, you can get as much as 20-25 hp.

For "bolt-on" components, a good rule to follow is to go by what the minium advertised HP gain is. So if your CAI says 5-233 HP gain, go with the lowest number (maybe even less). -OR- Get your car on the dyno before and after every mod. Like after a good oil change, I get my car on the dyno.

cai will prob get you about 2 hp... the maf might get you about 2hp... the chip might get you about 8hp.. so maybe 12 hp or so.. pending on how well its been chipped and if the maf has been calibrated correctly..
