Default Dyno friendly mods....

For reference, how much do the following dyno "tricks" inflate the rwhp numbers? Say a H/C car dynoes 400 rwhp, roughly how much would each of the following add?

A. Aluminum flywheel
B. Carbon Fiber D/S
C. Belt removed
D. EWP
E. Any others?

The belt off my car is worth 15rwhp and 7rwtq. I don't think the electric WP was worth anything besides allowing me to run the car without a belt. I have never tried the Aluminum flywheel or carbon fiber D/S. Three things that do help dyno numbers on my car is:
1. ASP pulley, 7rwhp.
2. Ported TB, 5rwhp.
3. Cutout open, 15rwhp ( my B&B sucks )
I'd like to dyno on regular 16x8 wheels and see how much that helps, I know that would be worth something over my 17x11's.

Btw.. going from 3.42's to 4.10's in my car didn't hurt anything on the dyno.
