Question What improvement should I expect?

I'm in the process of modding my car (waiting on my headers) and was wondering if anyone with a similar set-up could give me some rwhp and rwtq numbers.

My car is a 1997 T/A WS6 (factory ram air), 6spd, 40 000miles and
my only current mods are a K&N filter and pro 5.0 shifter with an MBA billet ****. I run mobil 1 5w30 oil.

Here's what I'm doing(keep in mind not all of the following are "power" mods)

1)Jet-Hot coated MAC (1994-1995 single cat) headers and y-pipe
2)Jet-Hot coated Mac off-road pipe
3)02 simulators
4)Borla cat-back (1994-1995 single cat)
5)Taylor OVC wires
6)AC delco plats or NGK TR55 Plats spark plugs
7)new delco o2 sensors
8)BMR LCA's
9)BMR relocation brackets
10)BMR adjustable panhard bar
11)BMR tubular sfc's
12)Eibach sportline springs
13)new tires currently un-decided

What sort of power should I expect to dyno and also what tires does everyone recommend? I was thinking of getting either
BFG Gforce KD's, Firestone Firehawk SZ50 Ep's, or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's all in size P275/40ZR-17.

I will dyno my car later this year but would like to know what to expect.

Thanks

My car is an auto, so these numbers are a bit lower than what you should expect... 10 rwhp difference?

267 rwhp & 307 rwtq with basically CAI, MACs, and OR pipe

275 rwhp & 308 rwtq with the addition of a cutout, that helped alot

I'm at the numbers in sig with 1.6RR, CSI electric waterpump and some tuning. I just noticed, my torque hasn't changed much throughout all this, weird. No stock numbers though, would have been nice to get a baseline. Oh well.

I have other mods of course, but I don't think wires, thermostats or STBs add power so I didn't mention them.

Not sure what numbers I'd put down. But a few weeks ago I ran a 13.5 @ 104 with a slipping tranny in my 95 A4. The only mods I have are CAI and Mac Headers/Y-pipe to a Borla cat back. I was pretty happy. But I wonder what I would've ran if the tranny was shifting correctly. I was running about the same times as my buddy with a 98 WS6 and he put down 307 on the dyno. So I'm guessing I'm around 29x or so. BUT like I said, it's JUST a guess.
