Default Power Increase? Help me out

00' GT is completely stock as of right now, compared to my fox body cars this thing is a dream. Im putting it away for winter but Im planning on getting some simple mods for spring..... I was gonna get a mac o/r h pipe, flowmaster 40's, CAI, 75mm throttle body+plenum, and pullies (which ones should I get?) I figure stock ive got 235 hp or something around there....what can I expect to have after simple mods like that? Also I was looking into getting some black bullitts for my car, I like having the big meats in the back so what size wheels and tires should I get without having to worry about them rubbing. I wanted to lower my car with some springs but I figure if i get 18's I wont have to it will look like its lower.

That might get you about 15-20 hp at the wheels. You would feel gears way more than all those mods put together. Save your money on the plenum and TB and put in some 4.10's.

+1. But I'd say more like 10 - 15. These things are impossible. You really gotta FI to get anything out of them. You've got some time...sit on it for a while and pick up a blower off e-bay over the winter. Time, knowledge, & who you know will make everything affordable. I spent $3,700 on my blower + gear + gear install + tune. (but I did the blower install myself...)
