R53 power question

Hey there I was just wondering if anyone knows around where my car (05’ copper s) would be at with my current mods in terms of horsepower cause I don’t want to spend the money on a dyno and I’m tired if explaining to my friends that I don’t really care what the horsepower is haha

Ive installed so far:

magnaflow catback exhaust
m7 cold air intake
m7 16% supercharger pulley and new belt
and some ngk iridium spark plugs one heat range colder (probably does nothing for performance ahah)

i was also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for mods to do next that are a good value for money in terms of performance or just driving enjoyment?

i currently have hnr lowering Springs and some grippy Michelin tires, I have some new jnc 010 rims on the way with a better offset for my personal style, a new shift ****, and a new wheel (just looking for a short hub/quick release for cheap).

Thanks so much!

Your exhaust/intake might be worth 10hp. Your pulley another 15hp. So, conservatively, 25hp extra. It takes a ton of money to wring hp out of a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine.

You are probably around 185-190hp.
With a custom tune you could be hitting 200-205.
