Hmmmm id say you would be just around 290-295 at most... The headers give you about 10-15 depending on the flow, the y-pipe will add maybe 5, not a huge help but a lil, and the CAI I actually forgot what that is. But I would say around 290 strong.

Are you asking if its going to be 310 flywheel HP (maybe possible) or 310 rear wheel HP (not likely)? And which headers are you getting? Which CAI? Which catback? Might make a difference, since the results might be different when comparing a set of 1-3/4" long tubes to some 1-5/8" shorties, or a Moroso or K&N CAI to a G2.

I got the Hooker Super Competition Cat-Back Exhaust System, The headers i was looking for im not too sure what yet. I dont think LT's would be a good idea because alaska is real strict on emissions. I was thinking something cheap though like... Pacesetters? The CAI will either be Morroso, SLP, or K&N depends on what i can find used for cheap. If i have to go new it will be Moroso.

Re: Unchokeing the engine

I think u should be seeing around 280-285 RWHP with the mods u listed above. Usually on a real healthy motor u can see around 300 rwhp with full bolt on's plus 1.6 roller rocker arms and a good mail order tune. U will feel a noticable improvement tho, which will always lead to bigger things.
