rough guess.. 20 to 25?
Wouldn't waste the time on the larger TB yet... car isn't going to be anywhere near close to needing it.

First DON'T use the Y-pipe. run it back off your car-back it will work that way.
The headers and 52mm tb will in most cases slow you down unless you have the heads and cam to go with it.
The wires will give you nothing if your wire are good now.
The open and K&N are worth alittle.

Wires don't give you a thing unless your existing ones are bad. Y pipe would be worse because it forces you to a single pipe (instead of duals). Have the shop weld up something to connect the headers to the catback.
