With the above mentioned mods id expect somewhere between 315 and 330 rwhp.

I think youre moving in the right direction though because once you finish up your bolt-ons you'll be ready for a cam Id say to cam your car after you finsh the bolt-ons and then dyno-tune it.
You should look into a torque converter also(and when you do that make sure it matches up w/ the cam you choose).
Also, you dont need a tune to run w/ the bolt-ons so I'd save the money for the tune after the cam and everything else are installed.

Get a torque conveter before you go getting all those exhaust coponents. Bite is better than bark..

my mods are in my sig as order of installed, I don't regret my order at all, def. get a stall before a cam though

oh before I had the cam, my numbers were 330rwhp, 380 after the cam and pulley

the gears and stall dropped the rwhp by 17, but picked that back up by the tune

I'd say get GMMG exhaust, then a stall.... definately make sure to pick up a lid a filter ( if you don't want to use a paper one )... I LOVE the way my car sounds with the GMMG exhaust, it's just MEAN.

Stall, headers/ory, shift kit and a tune are my next mods....
