Nothing without a TUNE. Somewhere between 380-390 with a tune.
Each of these add maybe 5-10 with no tune, in combination with you should get 40-50 over stock.

Now if you have the car tuned after adding the mods, you could pick up another 20 hp.

On the dyno, it may not produce any gains at all since dyno runs are normally done with the hood open, and the engine is drawing in ambient temperature air anyway.

You are not going to make 380 with an automatic with just headers and a CAI. The cold air won't pick you up a lot if it's just the K&N (top feeder) like I went with. Buy the LG Pro Long Tubes gave me 26 rwhp and 39 rwtq and this was WITHOUT a tune. I made 360 rwhp.
