Default power increase

how much of an increase can i expect from the swaps im doing? im changing the injectors to 24's, adjustable f/p/r, bigger fuel rails, i was running a Cobra intake but bought a Victor EFI edelbrock, was also running a B-303 Cam but swapping it out for a Comp NX-274-HR and a gear drive, a noisy pete jackson!! how much better should my car run?

I disagree I believe it will be a -25 decrease in power,.......intake is wrong for set up, get an rpm II and ditch the gear drive idea, for a street/strip car = pointless

I think both guys are right with that intake you will lose hp down low and you will pick up some way up top like 6500+ or so LOL. Like MJR said that intake is a big miss match it is toward the high rpm/ power adder/ bigger CID crowd. save your money and get one more inline with what you got like MJR said.
