Default hp gain?

so with my 01 v6 starting about 190hp, if i added a true dual exhaust, a cai, and a ud pulley, and got a tuner, what would my hp approximately be?

Fixed that for ya, lol

10-15hp. A little more if you get it professionally tuned on a dyno for 93 octane.

I know this is kind of noobish but i am new to the modding scene but ive read in other places that a tuner/cai and stuff would grant you about 20 alone? is it because its a v6, i mean no disrespect all i want to do is learn.

Yea, they can net 20, like maybe 20 hp on a Cobra. Remember, those advertised gains are either made up, or based off the best dyno gains they've gotten off of any type of car. A tuner will net you around 5 hp, that's it, but they're other gains and advantages can mean the difference between a big win, or a big loss.

little more than that. i've seen an 03 cobra first hand put down 400RWHP with just catback and 425RWHP after they put in a drop in K&N filter.
