estimated HP gain from CAI, tune, LT headers, and cam...
Would I get 70HP on a stock 2000 6-speed manual with these?
A shop in Vegas has a package for about $4k with everything installed.
I'm thinking this would make the car a mid 12 second runner in the 1/4 mile...thoughts?

Depends on the car you are starting with.
A good cam is worth between 30 to 50 rwhp.
Headers are good for 20 -30 rwhp.
CAI is generally worth from 5 to 15 rwhp.
If you have an LS1 motor 2000 or before, you could benefit even more by getting an LS6 intake for $350, and a set of used LS6 (243) heads.

You can do it with those parts depending on which ones you get....and how good your tune brings them all together.

RWHP is hard to say because is this an auto? 6 speed? dynojet? mustang dyno? weather? aggresive of tune?
im going off of REAL world numbers and will give my estimate on a dynojet...70ish weather...MN6
a cam will get 25-35
CAI = 0
headers = 20
look for 380rwhp + or - 5 on a real dyno
I got 410rwhp with ported 243 heads and a 224 cam on a mustang dyno. 3.42 gear and 70ish weather

Dependant upon cam. To run mid 12's all you really need is DR's and LT's...
With stock 99 Heads and all the supporting mods I am at 402RWHP.

im at 353rwhp and 366rwtq on just Vararam CAI, LG Big 3 catback and Dynotune with HPT.
i wasnt able to get a before dyno as i already put the stuff on it, but its a 2002 6spd coupe with the ls6 intake mani, but i was excited for the numbers. you should easily get 60-70rwhp out of cam, headers, cai, exhaust and tune with a great tuner.

OK...here's what I got.
'99 coupe M6, 853 heads, ls1 intake. I baseline at 315 rwhp with a Borla catback. I added Kooks LT with cats, 228/232 cam ( small enough for calif. smog), UD pulley, tune and vararam. I end up with 390 rwhp, the vararam as you know you don't get any hp on the dyno. So you should get more if you get bigger cam.

Dynos are just tuning devices. What really counts is performance.
