With the boltons you just listed I would say a less than 30hp. Those do not add much power at all. If you want bigger bang for the buck id really say 4.10 gears, an LSD, and SCT xcal2.

I hope you sort of get an idea of why the correct gearing is needed now. __________________ http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...borbmw_156.jpg God...

This also depends on what kind of v6 you have single port, 3.8 or 3.9L splitport, or the 4.0L splitport. Different mods for different generations do more or less for the different types of engines or engine configuring. All in all you won't gain all that much from bolt ons powerwise, but still it's power you have now. You learn more about your engine, and also it's a wise investment for the perf guys in my honest opinion.
