Welcome to MM

You will see a gain of about maybe 13-19ish HP

Most of it will come from the tuner.

From were you are. Id stop buying smaller mods and start saving for your super charger.

Your alrready going to throw out the CAI.
I really think you should consider saving for it though, to make your goal a reality.

The farther you go with boltons the more you may have to throw out.

15ish, You won't see any major gains unless you go with forced induction, Nitrous or the top of the engine; Heads cams and headers.

I am guessing you will put down about 240 and 270 ft lbs.

No. Lts will not help at your level! You need a power adder. The money your gonna spend on bolt-ons should be spent on N20. Check this out part# 20421-10 bottom of the page!

Nitrous Express Next Generation Nitrous Oxide Systems

I have this kit and it works great! Dont forget one stage colder plugs.

My buddy has a 03GT running this kit on a 150 shot and it goes 12.35@113 and only 14.00 on the motor!

This would satisfy your urge till you get the money for a blower!

don't waste money on bolt-ons that you will have no use if you plan on getting a supercharger. i had a 3.73 out in my 04GT convertible and I paid $400 for the gear and the install.

Piece of advice on the tuner.. Diablo is great... I had one for a week... but you cannot turn off your O2 sensors with it.. and my BBK MIL eliminators that i spent nearly $70 for never worked with my O/R x-pipe.. Go Sniper... Hell pay a little extra and get the Delta Force Commando tuner.. they're like $359 on ebay last i checked and you can set up a 2-step launch control without using an MSD 2-step box..

dont listen to this. thats only true for plug and play tunes. find out what your local tuner uses (either diablo or sct) and get that. i know diablo has discontinued certain features such as turning the 02s off, but your tuner would have a similar handheld but for a dealer with more capabilities. i havent heard of any tuners around here using sniper, its a good tuner if you arent going to dyno tune but id take a dyno tune over a sniper package anyday.

If you're going to tell someone else not to listen to me, you might want to learn how to form a coherent sentence. Or at least proof-read....

don't buy the CAI, just buy a K&N filter, probably save around $80-90. heck i have one i'll take $15 plus shipping for that i'll never use again.
