Arrow Winter HP Plan!

While my cars parked for the cold salty Canadian winter, I plan on springing a trap on her while she waits for the frosty weather to die down. These things include:
- Rebuild + Street Port
- Cone Air Intake
- Stripment of Cats, perhaps enlargment of exhaust
- Jimmy Rigged 5th and 6th ports
- 75+ Shot of Laughing Gas... strictly for the serious drags.

Now Including everything BUT the laughing gas, what kind of HP gain am I looking at with these mods from stock values? I don't know how each mod interacts with the other one and I can be told to go "search" all you want to tell me to, but I'm not gonna get some of the better numbers that a guru or someone with the same or similar mods could give me.

How about some fuel mods to support the NOS?

First off, is your motor blown? If not, leave it be - a rebuild is a big pain-in-the-butt process that should be only done when necessary, especially if you've never done it before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You're really not going to gain *that* much from a street port to justify the cost and labor of rebuilding the motor. If you're in there, yeah, do it.

If you have the whole winter to work, and the cash to do it, just do a TII swap.
