The bellow is usually worth a few but mostly an appearance mod
The heater lines are probally 1-3 HP
DONT TOUCH the mass air flow it will only cause problems
but if you P&P the TB it will give you around 10 HP and better throtle response

No, your wrong. He'll get 100rwhp from the 2K Gigawatt Flux Capaciter Super Charged Hairdryer. It's free just check your bathroom for one j/k

There's an article about all the "free mods" on gmhightechperformance.com. Check it out; there was a little Hp gain shom from test they ran.
