Default 5.0 Bolt on Performance

Ok well I have a complete Intake and exaust kit kinda set up that I like. Here it is.

K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits (CAI)
Granatelli Motorsports Mass Airflow Sensors
Trick Flow EFI Intake Manifolds

BBK 1 5/8 in. Shorty Headers
BBK Extracter Series X-Chamber Mid-Pipes
Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust Systems

So how much power am I looking at. I also want 3.73 gears but that doesnt add power so... But yeah what do you guys think?

Your statement that gears do not add power is correct - but let's put reality in its' rightful place. Gears should be your first modification. I made the mistake of not installing gears first in my setup...Prior to my Vortech install, I had approximately 325rwhp...but I was still losing left and right on the streets..sure your engine setup will sound and look bad as hell, but without getting that power to move you forward, losing is losing. The difference gears make cannot be overlooked.

thats for sure i have done almost everything to my engine now and i still havent got my gears in yet. Gears are a must to get your power to the wheels quicker.
