Depends on all what else u do. But it also depends on how your bolts-ons react.

If your going to go w/ the diablo chip make sure you put all the other bolt ons on first then have the chip cutom programmed. This will help your car recognize the mods far better than it would w/o doing this, giving you bigger gains. Also make sure you dont have plans for adding a sound system near 2000watts w/ those pullies itll drain your battery like theres not tommorrow. But if you do all this you should be around the 180 HP range.

Here's my calculation for the mods your adding...

2000 v6 (190hp stock)
Magnaflow, they clame they add 10% (but it's more like 10hp considering it's only one muffler)
Cold air intake with k&n (15hp at the most)
Diablo chip (25hp, this is the one mod that you will feel the most from all the ones you mentioned)
Pullies (10hp-15hp, depending, I'll say 15hp)

190 +
10 +
15 +
25 +
15 =
-------
255 hp

you'll have alot of hp wich is good when your taking off, but in torque I'm guessing you won't get more than 230-235 and as we all know that's what really moves the car.

I recomend you considering installing the dual exhaust.

Something else to think about is that if your going to do all this to you v6 your better of trading it for a GT, on the long run goint with the GT will be cheaper then adding all these mods + labor + voiding your warranty + possibly f****ing up the car + other things --- believe me I know, I'm an ex-v6 owner, I learned my leason

yeah go ahead and buy a GT, then get raped by insurance. and btw, scar you're off on your estimates. all that will only pull about 225 fwhp, or about 200 to the wheels. just mod it the way you want to. if i could take the money i spent to mod my car and start again i would buy a blower.

I dont think you will get 200 or even 190, they had a six tricks article in 5.0 and you start at about 163 and i beleive it was about 7 for duals, 5 intake, nothing for pulleys, little bit of torque, and lke 5 for the chip. try going to the website and checking it out, they ended with 182 and they did alot more then what you are doing
