How many hp with a power fc only?

I have an intake and cat-back on my Fd. If I install a power Fc wihtout any further modifications will I gain any Hp at all or any noticeable difference in performance?

Yes you will notice a good power increase, and the power delivery will be more smooth too, especially at transition from first to second turbo.
You will not be disappointed.

You will probably be happier with your purchase of PFC if you get it tuned for your mods. This will attempt to extract the most power out of the setup while still remaining safe with the A/F ratio, etc. Leaning out your mixture (since you're probably running way rich right now) will help with power and fuel economy for sure.

You will gain some, but not as much as you might think. Since you have no control over any of the areas, you'll be on the low setting, about 11 psi, about what you have now. It will be smoother, no 3 k hiccup, but it will also be richer since the PFC base maps are for DP, intake and cat-back, more fuel than you need since you don't have a DP in place right now. Do like SanJo and either have it mapped for your mods, or go ahead and get a commander so you can tune it yourself.

Fiiiiiiiiiiinally gettin mine tuned this week. Can't wait to feel the increase in power. Right now it almost feels slower with dp, high flow, cb, and intake than when it was stock.

Gonna be cool to see mr Steve Kan do his magic on my car.

I had your mods plus dp and mp and here is the dyno sheet to show the diff. The red line is a stock 7 the green is the car how I got it and the blue is the first run after just plugging in the pfc. The runs on my car were done the same day. Just pugged it in and bam 35rwhp plus the cars is alot more drivable. Oh for the good old days when mods were easy

On the run with your mods and PFC, was that after fine tuning the pfc with your mods? At 12 psi as well? Before the BNR's, I'm guessing?

Do you like those? I'm planning on gettin 'em in the next couple months, but unsure on the Stage 2 or 3's. Ridden in GoodFellas' car with the 3's and loooove it. For a couple extra hundred bucks don't think I could go wrong.

No tuning. The only mods are listed on the dyno sheet
Just pugged it in and bam 35rwhp
Back then I though it came set at 12 psi but it's set at 11.3 psi on the primary after trans to the Secondary(both)Turbo it drops to 9.9psi.
