Default How much HP will this net me?

Car is stock except for a TransGo kit and a TCI 3000. I'm gonna do a lid, Fast 90/90, Pacesetters and TSP True duals. I went with the Fast because I know at a minimum I'm gonna do h/c and will probably go with a 383 sometime in the future. How much do you think I'll get from these bolt ons? I'm gonna do a tune at the same time. I'm hoping 50hp but I know that may be a little optimistic. Thanks.

well lets see:
Lid= 5-8hp
Fast 90/90 = on a stock cam car, 15-20hp
Pacesetter LT's= 25hp
True duals = 10-15hp

so id guess anywhere from 40-60hp.

Minus the fact that he is an A4 with a stall. I would say maybe 35 at best.

Well I know it won't show as much hp as a stick because of the auto. I should have asked how much it would pick it up at the track. Car has gone 8.20's the way it sets now with just the stall. So how much should it pick up at the track? Thats all that really matters to me anyway I doubt I'll ever dyno it.

A cam will net you a lower ET than those other bolt-ons combined for future reference. I would say that with the right suspension you should see 7.8's

What susp mods should I do? I've been thinking subframes and boxed lowers. It has stock suspension now. It does have some type of aftermarket shocks on it. Not sure the brand though. I want to do a cam. Its just that the motor has almost 114,00 and I don't think a cam would be wise until I can afford to freshen the bottom end up.
