Default HP Gains help

I added the following mods to my 2000 C5 - Vortex Air Rammer and Power Duct, Predator Tune, Bassani X-Pipe and Borla Street Performance Exhaust.

Any idea at how much HP I gained?

It would be hard to tell...cuz every car is different, but this is what i think..

Vortex Air Rammer ......5-10 rwhp

Power Duct .................nothing at all

Bassani X-Pipe and Borla Street Performance Exhaust......3-5 rwhp...cuz exhaust on our cars don't add anything they are for look and sound.

Predator Tune......... that depends on how good your car was before the tune..if it was rich, lean..etc so this is very hard to tell....good luck

I think you might have gained 15-18 RWHP with the Vortex Rammer.
Nothing gained from the Power Duct
Nothing from the X pipe
As stated above it is very hard to say what you might have gained from the Predator Tune up.
0-8 RWHP from the Borla Exhaust. :cheers:
