Ok, I have decided to go with a set of Hooker long tubes AIR and EGR Delete and run an X pipe bak to the magnaflows I have. An LS6 intake manifold. Solid motor mounts and poly trans mount. And a good dyno tune. What kind of hp gain should i expect on average. Car is a 98 trans am A4 it has a catback exhaust now and an SLP cold air intake. Just looking for an estimate i know all cars are different.

330-340ish RWHP...Maybe more maybe less...w/ that limited amount of mods a mail order tune should be fine...you can find them here cheap unless you got someone local.

So... i have a hand held tuner. is this what i need to use to tune it or would it be better to take it to a shop and have it done. There is a shop that does dyno tuning near by.

Also, would it be worth the money to have this stuff installed at a shop or do you guys think these are fairly straight forward installs.( aside from finishing the exhaust out the back of the car)

You can do it yourself and get rid of the tuner

Lose the handheld tuner, it isnt worth ****...I think theres a guy on here that does kick *** tunes for under a 100 bucks...If you have the patience you can install things on these cars.
