Drivetrain HP expectations with mild mods

HP expectations with mild mods
(I think I posted this is the wrong forum previously, sorry for the duplicate!) Hey all, new to the mini world. I have a '12 MCS (manual) I did a bunch of research and decided to start with a JB+ tune and a drop in K&N (NM torque insert and rear sway are next.) I'm just looking for some reliable power upgrades without voiding my warranty and spending a fortune. What kind of wheel HP can I expect from the JB+ with a drop in filter? The claim on their website seems high (20hp/30tq,) unless those figures are with race gas and other mods. Many of the dyno slips and info I see are from JCW cars or mini's with several mods included. I have easy access to 93 octane and I live at sea level in FL. I'm not really into suspension mods for now, as I will probably never go to a track and there are basically no twisties in FL. But very possibly down the line. For now, just looking for a bump in power. Is there any thing else that would net some decent gains without getting too expensive or voiding my warranty? Any experiences, sugguestions or input on any of the above would be appreciated!

A JB+ and a tune is the only why to gain HP these days, bolt-ons do nothing unless you tune for those mods. Example, Manic offers tunes for people that remove the cats from the exhaust, this will void warranties. A JB+ is your only way to get noticeable HP & TQ, just remove the JB+ before taking it to the dealer.
