If you have a heavily modified car with a stock intake the same upgrade may make 15 - 20 hp due to the intake being the bottleneck. The same would hold true for .....

1) Is your engine ported or stock?
a) What porting does your engine have?
2) Is your intake manifold ported/polished?
3) Do you have a stock intercooler or aftermarket?
a) What are the dimensions of the aftermarket intercooler? (This so to guestimate pressure drop)

Don't forget the "Will these mods blow up my engine?" section that always evaluates to "yes" when the user answers "Fast & the Furious" to the favorite movie question.

Hey, it was worth a try. I guess I was just REALLY bored last night and started reading ALL the newbie "How much hp will _______ give me" threads. Good for a few laughs though.

Don't forget the horsepower calculator for stickers and vinyl graphics.
The naysayers are right... there are far too many variables to be able to predict power from a checklist of parts with any sort of accuracy.

yea like mentioned the problem would be the compounding of parts. In other words lest say on a bone stock car a dp is worth 10rwhp. However lets say they have every mod and running 14psi, EXCEPT they dont have a dp...well then a dp would make a lot more difference than 10rwhp.
If anything what you should do is come up with a list of combinations and just give a estimated hp for each combination. The list of possible combinations would have to be big though.
