numbers estimate for this setup?
 
I'm looking at running the following setup...

tkt cold air induction, koyo aluminum radiator, 3" stainless downpipe, 3" hiflow stainless cat center, and a 3" stainless tkt cat back at 10psi max. I know that there are a few other elctronic items etc that I'll be need to purchase to control it all, but does anyone have any idea what type of numbers I could expect like that? As far as the per part estimates run, by my calculations, i should be looking at around 350hp at the flywheel.

please let me know what ya'll think.

I'm not sure how you came up with 350 bhp, but....you aren't going to get there.

With those mods, I would imagine you would be putting down around 260 rwhp at 10 psi, which is about 300 bhp.

Pettit racing claims that the intake (i forgot to mention new pulleys too) new pulleys and the cat back they make ALONE on a stock motor ads 60 at the flywheel.

that's where i was getting the numbers from. their webpage is pettitracing.com and that set is listed as their base performance package (ad 60+hp). i have a tendency to trust them on that being i've not hear anything bad about them before... other than slightly higher prices.

They always overestimate. Also not all cars are the same. Even if you have the exact same setup in two different cars it's extremely unlikely that they will produce the same numbers.

Well, go dyno your car stock, put on those parts, dyno it again (at same dyno, with results set to SAE Standard), and see for yourself how much you make. I gaurantee you that you won't be making 300+ rwhp, which is what you would have to hit to be making 360 bhp.

That's probably a little exaggerated. Another thing to consider is that adding those mods will increase boost 1 1/2 to 2 psi. Since you will be keeping your setup at 10 psi (stock), you will not be getting the extra power from the extra boost. Your engine will also be running safer.
