If you believe what the manufacturers say you should pick up 150+ HP. In reality with your modifications, maybe 20 to 30 HP over stock with proper tuning. Just a guess!

with headers & exhaust work, 1.6RR's, mild intake upgrade and cam you'll probably eeke out about 40 possibly up to 50chp.

sound? you're more worried about the sound? why did you have performance upgrades done if its not about acceleration? i can't speak for that cam, its mild enough, but with headers/x-pipe/flo-hoe's you'll likely notice a mild lope and it will definitely be louder. you'll get off on it, no worries there. report back with that confirmation when its out of the shop

oh, and congratulations on getting something done under the hood. good job. christ knows, all our base C4's need engine work to to stay average in today's environment.
