How much HP you think....
Hey guys, i was curious if anyone knows an estimate...or close to how much hp you will get over stock with the aftermarket parts out now? Say you have an exhaust, intake, headers

10-20 WHP. The 20 being on the uber-optimistic and unlikely side of things. Intake, downpipe and exhaust netted a Lancer (Import Tuner tested) 8 WHP. Tack on a CAI in place of Buschur's short ram and you gain what...2 or 3 more HP? Not a major difference. An exhaust manifold will only add so much, but it is the biggest bolt on aspect of an NA car.

Quick point I'd like to make: Peak HP and Torque are great and all, but, I'd like to see how this stuff will treat the powerband. If it flatens and raises, then I'd think it'd be a good buy for those of us that can't scrape together the 3K for one single component (be it a devistatingly great component like a turbo). But, since very few dyno results exist, we really can't tell how it'd treat the powerband, can we?
