CAI + tune- 25-30 RWHP
Headers- 30 RWHP
Axlebacks offer little HP, maybe 5-10 RWHP
Throttle body- 10-15 RWHP

All told, I'm guessing maybe 50-70 RHWP max, 40-60 ft/lb of torque.

Sounds about rite is there any order on which i should get these installed by my shop? (Already did the cai and tune myself)

Btw has anybody else had any experience or have done a dyno after installing these mods?

Thanks guys!

I'm a fan of bolt-on basics. Back in the day, I woulda cried for headers but not anymore. The dollar (for purchase & install) per horsepower value ain't there. Headers may give you 30 HP but are gonna cost you $1000 +/- overall. Ditto for the throttle body. You're looking at maybe a 5-10 HP gain, and you've got to get it retuned, praying that the tune works properly. Again, to me, it ain't worth the dollar per HP gain.

You're gonna spend a lotta $$ on those parts and your overall gains are not going to be that significant. Might I suggest you instead shop craigslist, e-bay and the other Stang sites, for a used super charger? Much better bang for the $$ & you'll end up w/more power in the end.
