ehh give or take probably take more then give, diff mods perform well with others.

trash the spacer 0 hp gain from that garbage and your probaly gona get maybe 5 -7 from pulley and LT depends on your tune I imagine if you had it on the dno you could pull the highest amount out of it.

Here's my take:

tune/K&N cai...15-25 - Probably more like 15-20. I believe the K&N has a smaller diameter than most other aftermarket CAI's

steeda - underdrive pulley...10 - More like 5-10

bbk - throttle body/steeda spacer...5-10 - zip, maybe 2-3 IF you're lucky. doesn't help much unless you're aspirated

kooks - long tube headers & catted pipe(H or X...diference?)....15-20 - sounds about right. If I recall, the X would provide minor help

My "gut" total: 40-45 (because I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express)

I'd guess your at 350 HP between the UDP, LTs & X-Pipe, and Tune/CAI. The Throttle Body stuff probably isn't helping judging from past posts about the way these cars respond to modding the TB.


PS: Get a Pypes Mid Muffler System... sounds wicked with the Kooks LT Headers & X-Pipe. Here is a video of them on someone elses car...

edit: Yes I meant Crank HP not RWHP

Sorry gburke1 but there is no way he is anywhere near 350.

Stock manual = around 265

Pulleys: 7

TB/Spacer: 3, maybe

LTs/Midpipe: 15 (unless dyno tuned)

K&N/Tune: 20

Around 305 - 310, probably less unless you have a good tune.

Who is your tuner?

don't think he meant 350 RWHP.. cuz he either didn't know the diff or just was talkin crank hp cuz he didn't know what it would be rwhp-wise

Oh ok, 350 crank HP is closer to accurate.

Which puts us back to about 310 RWHP as we all seem to be implying.

Yes, that sounds about right.

I didn't know he meant crank, not rwhp.
