Depends on what power you're making now. You should see probably about 20 more rhwp from those mods.

The only thing I have on at the moemnt is the lid eith K&N. Do you think I will feel a diff with the ram air hood,egr, and tb bypass? I am thinking of doing the throttle body bump stop mod.

You may see 20 to 30 rwhp with the exhaust and lid. You will feel crisper throttle response and a SOTP improvement. As for the other mods, no apparent gains, but every little bit helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If you want a noticible difference add gears with that combo. Gears alone add a lot of sotp difference.

While the ram air hood looks great, you're not going to gain any power from it. My guess would be 20rwhp from exhuast. By exhuast I'm assuming you mean a catback system, not headers, y pipe, etc.

Since you are from GA and its hot there im guessing you will be low 13s. I dont know what gears or tranny you have but those all got me to a 13.4 with 2.73 gears on street tires. God those gears suck. But i just swapped in some 4.10s and was running headers and ET streets that put me to a 13.0 Hello 12s.

I am getting the ascd design ram air hood, I have a slp lid with k&n, and prolly going to end up getting magnaflow catback, along with the 3 free mods I listed before. All this good for 3 tenths?

I would say 3 tenths wouldn't be too difficult to drop with those mods. My only mods are lid, hooker catback, and free mods. Bone stock I ran a 13.67. After those few mods I've run a best of 13.0x@106.x. My 60' times were relatively the same. I've never broken a 2.0 60' on my GSC's.
So, in my case I dropped 6 tenths.

BTW, I didn't do the EGR or the TB bypass mod.

Edit: My NX wet kit (100 shot) is going on soon. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> Come on spring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
