About 40-50+/- to the wheels from bone stock.

I did this on my 98 a few years ago when I replaced the clutch. I have a Callaway intake, LG headers corsa exhaust and a tune. It is a noticeable difference in the SOTP. Roughly about 40-50 HP gain. I had my car tuned at a local tuner and he made it so I feel a power increase in the driving around rpm (3k-3,500) not just at the top end.

Gears or motor

There are many discussions about more power - but in an Automatic - putting in 3.73 gears can give you all the feeling of power you need. It will spin from 0-60 just by pushing the peddle down.

More engine HP will come with more heat and more noise while the gears will just mean less mpg but a bigger smile.
