Yet another, HP guess

just another noob wanting a hp estimate

and my new set up after christmas:
K&N CAI
SLP loudmouthI
airfoil
tb bypass
MAC midlength headers (emissions, dont say go LT) and catted ypipe
160º tstat
madz28/pcmforless tune (which would you recommend?)

car: 1997 A4 z28 (rated 285hp factory)

i know its not going to be much, but once i get the headers and everything i already have installed, how much rwhp or crank hp would i be expecting? what else can i do before starting to get into the serious mods?

thanks,
Eric

Probably around 270-280 RWHP. I was at 300 Rear wheel with those mods but I'm a M6.

I would guess you would be at around 270-280ish at the wheels as well. As for the tuning aspect, you can't go wrong with either tuner. As for more serious mods, what are you thinking of? Heads/cam build or some sort of forced induction?

well i've never planned on doing the heads/cam build since i'm not looking for too much out of this daily driver...or at least not yet. forced induction would be nice but i never planned on that or spending too much big bucks on it, and it already has 106k+ miles so i'm not sure what would happen. i think i've gotten most of the common bolt on mods, with the exception of gears and whatever else there is out there that i dont know about
