How much hp will I pick up?
I've got a few bucks to spend next month on my car. I was thinking headers, catback, rear end, and intake.
I found a flowmaster catback for 50 bucks. I figure I can find some headers for like 300. And I've seen some complete rears go for 250. I'm not sure what size.
I have a regular hood. Is it worth it to spend 700 on a ram air hood? Could I get the same benefit from a cai?
What size gears should I go with?
How much power am I looking to gain with headers, exhaust, intake, and gears? How much will this improve my stock 1/4 mile times?

Re: How much hp will I pick up?
A CAI will net you the same, if not better benefits than a ramair hood. Unless you just like the looks of them, save your money and just get a CAI. Moroso, Lingenfelter, K&N or SLP. Any of those will due.
Going with a nice cold air system, headers and catbacki will net you about a 50hp increase over stock all together. Some people get a little more, others a little less.
Gear wise, if you have a M6 go 4.10 gears.
With all of those mods together, if you could hook up (which will be next to impossible with 4.10s and street tires
) You should pull low 13s all day long. On slicks maybe high 12s, but I dont think your 10 bolt would last too long.
