Default HP and mods question

over the stock 325 hp that the SS has what kind of gain in hp would I see with the following:
-SLP high flow lid
-HPP3
-K&N air filter

And also, what kind of increase over the stock 325 would I see with the following:
-SLP airlid
-Holley Powershot filter
-Jet Performance chip
-Granatelli MAF Sensor
-BBK Throttlebody
-SLP smooth Bellows
-Edelbrock Shorty Headers
-SLP Y-Pipe
-Borla Cat-back exhaust

These are on two seperate cars so if you could give me an idea in what I would see only in the numbers that would be great.

I'll give you an estimate and my opinions. This is all rwhp.

Any aftermarket lid: 10
Any filter: 0
HPP3: Some have gained 3, some lost 3. Go with Predator.
Jet Chip: Couldn't tell ya. Probably not more than 2.
MAF: Same as HPP3. Some people have nothing but troubles, others have gained around 5 or so.
Throttlebody: Don't know.
SLP Bellows: .1 if you're lucky
Shorty Headers: 5, not worth the money for an LS1. Save up a little more and get LTs, 20+ gain.
Y-pipe: I've heard 0, I've heard 5. Don't know for sure.
Cat-back: Around 5.
