It's also probably important to know what you are actually bolting them onto. (Make, model, engine, year, etc)

nobodys learned yet that you cant estimate or assume hp? diff stuff responds diff to ever car. i could have the same setup as my buddy and i may have 10 more hp then him, mods respond diff to diff engines. put the thing on, goto the dyno and see how much hp, then you tell us. we cant guess your hp or estimate it. thats like saying lets see a stock 5.0 only mods 65mm tb, flowmaster exhaust, o/r h-pipe, cai.

all we know is stock is 225(if its a HO) a bigger tb = ? no clue how much hp. exhaust(companys say like 40-50) in reality maybe 20 if that. headers = companys say 15-20. thats like saying add 40-50 + 15-20 + 10 (5 for cai 5 for tb) your at like 305 and thats bs with those mods your lucky to be around 260 at crank.

horsepower tx used a 92 lx with short headers h-pipe and flows picked up 14 hp, throttle body, underdrives, k&n, hotter coil, timing, plugs, and wires were another 8.

basic bolt ons would put him around 210 at the wheels and another 120hp for the 6psi blower due to engine drag. if it were a turbo at 6psi he would be about 360-365hp.
