What's my approx. increast in HP/TQ?

I have a 2002 Camaro SS with an A4. Approximately how much additional (above the stock HP) horsepower and torque (either in total or each piece) is this stuff getting me??

I got TSP clear lid
K&N Panel filter
Granatelli 85mm Z06 MAF
SLP Smooth bellows
Borla 2.5" cat-back


Thanks!!!

I got TSP clear lid +8rwhp
K&N Panel filterminus 3rwhp (paper flows better)
Granatelli 85mm Z06 MAFnot sure this will gain you any since its a hit and miss on cars
SLP Smooth bellowsyou can only flow so much ya know? I will give ya +1
Borla 2.5" cat-backhmmm $600 cutout.. I say +8
your total will be about +15-20 rwhp over stock (which was probably 310ish range.. so expect dyno runs to show 325-330 rwhp)

Thanks!!!

Thank you sir! That's exactly what I was looking for. If the K&N is really bad, what would you suggest instead??? Aren't all the aftermarket ones non-paper? What about the holley ones? They're not paper, are they?

Also, what's the $600 cutout thing? Making fun of my Borla, I presume?

well, paper out flows the aftermarket ones but the aftermarket ones filter better..

so yes, they filter better but in that one fact is their flaw..they are restricting more hence not creating power but robbing it.

I stick with AC Delco.. mine is still clean and I have 29K miles on the car.

As for the borla statement.. yeah.. hehe I know they sound mean.. but honestly when I look at the design I am more annoyed... for instance:
- intercooled tips? WTF FOR?!!? hehe
- If you run completely open plate, then why have another exhaust pipe?

so for me, thats just a personal peeve.. I prefer the look of the mufflex setup with the single 3" turn down over the others just cause there is something about its looks to me.. looks mean and hidden.. Like that..
