What HP/TQ should i be expecting...
What HP/TQ should i be expecting with the following mods:
Short Ram Intake
Upper Intercooler Piping
Lower Intercooler Piping
High Flow Cat
Catback Exhaust
Electronic Boost Controller
91 Octane
Dynotuned
What is a good/safe PSI to be at for daily driving (stock turbo)?
Will I see higher gains upgrading the downpipe and intercooler (4in.), is it necessary for daily driving?
Looking for a reliable set up, not trying to go too crazy

Read through posts in the dyno forum to see the final results that other people got.
Since you live in Vegas, get an aftermarket intercooler. It will help during the summer heat.
With the stock turbo, 25psi seems to be the typical max. Out here in the high altitude of Albuquerque, the stock turbo can't even hit 25psi.

Depending on the day of the week your car was assembled and if it was released while Yasuyuki Sugiura was serving as CEO of Mitsubishi, with those mods you will make 337.4622372284 HP and 331.28999384 TQ on pump with an ambient temp of 69.6726 F, Humidity 29%, and Barometer 29.73664 inches and rising.
At least, that's my guess.

What type of dyno will you be tuned on? That will play a hue part of all of this. On a mustang, I assume you to be around 310-330 whp/tq as you have the same mods sans an FMIC and dp/tp and you are running on 91 so I took a bit off of what I made.
I peaked at 25 psi on my tune. The downpipe will free up some air flow but if you don't plan on going with more mods in the future, I would just keep the stock dp on and be happy with what you have.
The IC will help you out as stated above but it isn't a necessity by any means for DD and occasional spirited driving/track time.
As long as you get a good tune, you will be very safe with these. I am by no means a gearhead, but speaking from my own experience as my mod list is fairly similar to yours.

OK, my sarcasm is getting the better of me. I suggest that you simply contact any number of people in the West forum that live in your area with similar mods and ask them what power they are making and on which dyno. Alternatively, contact a few local shops and ask them the same thing, they'll have the results of other cars with the same mods and will give you good feedback. A quick post to the general forum will not provide you enough specific input to be valuable. Finally, you might consider less focus on the numbers and more on which mods are best for the car in your area considering heat, humidity, driving conditions, your interests, budget, and so forth.
