Default Corvette Kits

I am not an expert in cars tunning =)
I have:-
1- Borla Exhaust System
2- LG Pro Headers
3- Diablo Predator Programmer
4- Thermostat
5- VaraRam Air Intake System
When installing the items above, Will my car became a beast? LOL =) I mean will my car be stronger than a Porsche Turbo or a Stock Manual C6 Vette?
And how much HP will these kits will give? I want to take your opinion. What do you think?
Thanks

I have similar mods. I wouldn't call it a beast, but it is noticeably better than stock.

Depending on year, most likely not. But assuming install and tune is done correctly, you will be faster than a stock C6. However the driver is key so you never know. But if you're gunning after the turbo 'P' cars, you're going to need a little more than that.

HP=the horsepower that you have at the crank i/e the motor.
RWHP=the actual horsepower that the car has at the wheels, which is less than the HP, but it's what you can count on.

RWHP is rear wheel horse power- dyno results. Again I agree get a tune or at least a canned tune.
