Default HP questions

Hi any of you tech guys have any idea how much HP you will get from a CAI plus a Borla cat back and perf. chip on a 2001 gt? just curious I bought a used 2001 GT and these mods where already done. it feels real strong but it is a 5 speed with 3.73 which would prob. make a 6cyl. feel strong. thanks

The above mentioned mods really aren't doing much for your car. Biggest boost in performance would be the gears. Just guesstimating I would say you've gained about 8-15 rwhp. When I was N/A I had every bolt on under the sun (including cams) and was still under 285 rwhp. Sadly 2 V's do not respond well to bolt on's. What are your plans for your car?

Cold air intakes add 0 horsepower, youll prob pick up 15ish with a catback and the tune.

The CAI for these cars are basically for looks.
