RE: power gain estimates?
sorry guys I shoulda been a little more descriptive of what I want to do. I dont want another boosted car. I wanted to build this one N/A for the street and have a nice nitrous setup for the track. I'm not looking for 500 horsepower all the time. I do a lot of city driving and I think I'd end up walking with a limp all the time if I did. Even the clutch on my DSM in city driving was kinda rough.
Plus I dont like the fact that you put boost on first and then (realistically) need to retune it everytime you do another mod so it doesnt mess with your A/F ratio and other stuff.
I'm already looking at Nitrous Express Kits to go along with the heads and N/A cams. I've done a lot of lurking on this site reading stuff before I started posting and I realize I wont get HUGE numbers N/A....I'd be happy with low 300s NA and mid 400's on juice....

RE: power gain estimates?
ok cool. So my short list of new parts are as follows.
4:10s
Stage II heads - patriot are the cheapest I could find
Stage II NA cams - Cushman
Trick Flow Intake
Catback
100 shot - Nitrous Express
That should eat up some paychecks for a while but after that I'll look into a set of longtubes, midpipe, JLT intake, TUNE...actually after that, I think its all suspension mods...that is unless something breaks....

Centerforce clutches have soft pedal engaging. So I'd get a Stage 1 Centerforce if you're not planning on over 350rwhp.
4.10 gears
Sticky tires
O/R midpipe
Longtube headers
Catback
and the HCI combo you mentioned
