Default Horse Power Estimate

I do not have access to a real Dyno, nor am I that educated about what mods equal how much horsepower. However, I was wonderning if any of you that know way more that I do can help me in estimating how much horsepower I might be getting with my 2000 6-speed from set up:

1. Corsa Exhaust (Touring)
2. LS6 Intake Manfold
3. TPIS Headers w/ X-pipe and Random Cats
4. Vararam Intake System
5. Mass Air Flow Sensor
6. High Flow Power Duct
7. 3.90 rear (Although I do know that the gear doesn't equate to horsepower gain). :cool:

The horsepower range can be large. Without a good tuning, who knows...

Provide your quaarter mile trap speed and your cars race weight and you can calculate sea level, 72F FWHP from the formula:
HP = (MPH/225.6)^3 X weight
