Ok, I got no Dyno, so help me guess-ta-mate or WAG my HP.
Alta Intake, %15 Alta Pulley and PowerChip ECU all from Randy

RearSway bar from Randy which helps in turns, but I dont thing that adds to my HP.
Ligher wheels and tires, maybe helps quickness

Give me a worst case and best case. I am looking to get an exhaust next.

Ask RandyBMC to confirm
Numbers go down when it is hot- it is August.
Numbers vary alot from each Dyno-best to check numbers from one source.
Alta intake best +9 HP
Alta Pulley best +16 HP
Powerchip ECU best +17 to 20 HP
The numbers above are not additive.
Best guess 180 wheel HP or 195+ HP (these are low estimates)
You'd get better numbers with an exhaust upgrade.

Might handle and feel better but there is no added HP.

Yup.

Certainly a better power:weight ratio at the wheels though!

I'm sure if you added the Magnaflow exhaust, you'd have "Gains in power of between 10 and 15 horsepower depending on other modifications. "

I have seen 170-180whp with the Evotech ECU, intake and pulley.
Maybe another 10 with the powerchip.
