Default how much more power

Ok im not tryin to be a jackass just got a dumb question. Im buyin one of those hp dash plaques for my car and i dont wanna put to high or to low of numbers and i dynoed my car with a SLP D/D and a paper filter. I have since put in my K&N and a Magnaflow. At first i figured that they wouldnt add much but then Nate told me that the more power that im making the more that the paper filter and the D/D are holding me back. Anyway according to my calculations my car made 453 fwhp and 427fwtq. How much should i change these numbers for the new additions.


PS: Just for ***** and gigles, how much should a ported tb give me?

Professionally ported and polished TB may net 8-12hp depending upon engine mods(haven't personally dynoed, just going by shitloads of ported tb posts/threads on this and other LS1 sites I've read until my eyes damn near fell out of my head)
