Default Horsepower Gains

What kind of gains should i expect with a short ram intake, 70mm TB, 100cfm plenum, headers, O/R X-Pipe, 2.5" cat back, 3:73 gear and a custom tune to get all these to work together? i'm just curious if anyone happens to know.... i'm more/less lookin for RWHP if anyone happens to know or have a ballpark range i'd appreciate it... thanks

Low to mid 260s, im sure you know gears don't actually add power.

Probably around 260 rwhp. I hit 269 rwhp (before cams) on a local dyno here in MI. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on numbers anyway, because dynos can vary quite a bit.

Thanks thats about what i figured myself... and yes SVT i do know gears don't add HP lol i just threw that in there cuz thats a mod i plan to add... but thanks guys i'm hoping to have all by the end of the summer.... btw i've seen headers out there that look similar to a manifold do they create similar HP gains as equal and unequal length headers?
