Default Bolt ons expected HP

I have a C7 Stingray. Planning on adding a aFe Magnum Force Intake, 103mm Soler throttle body, MSD Atomic Manifold, ARH long tube catted headers. Would love to do forced induction, but after doing more research, a centri supercharger seems a little overkill for now.

With a proper tune, what power gains can I expect with this setup? I'm guessing ~50rwhp. Thanks

I would imagine it would be at least that much which would be a great N/A C7. Go for it Man.

Do a good set of 1 7/8" headers and X pipe. Skip the $1300 intake and get a ported OEM for $320. I'm not convinced a CAI gives great returns, but with the aformentioned 2 and a good tuner you should get at or very near 50 hp.

Peak will be up around 40-45 wheel (what we see on our 91) but with the MSD from 5500-6500 rpm it will be "up" around 35-40 wheel as it won't lay over like the OEM.

Not sure if you want to or not but a flex fuel kit allows to E if it is local. That is a pretty cheap win.

I considered it, but the closest gas station with E85 is an hour away from where I live, unfortunately.
