Default What can I expect?

I have a LMB A-4 I am planning on adding the following mods and I would like to get your opinion on what numbers I could expect in the 1/4. The mods are a Lingenfelter CAI and a Diablo Predator I was looking to probably gain about 40hp from the mods. But I thought I would ask the experts about what you think I can expect, and also what would you do next??

Well to start, not even close to 40hp, maybe 15 max. Would take it to a reputable tuner, AFTER, you did some Long Tube Headers, X-Pipe, or other more substancial mod's. Just my 2c

Nope, not even 40 at the crank. 40 at the crank is about 34 at the wheel give or take.
