Default How much?

What "range" of power could one expect with the following modifications?

1-7/8ths long tube headers
3" collector w/x-pipe
High flow cats
Halltech intake
2.3 upper pulley
Weapon X ported throttle-body
Professional custom tune, 93 octane

Just looking for a range. I know there are a LOT of variables involved. Just wondering what a well thought out performance package with the above parts would give, engine and at the rear wheels.

Thanks in advance....

Interested in going a similar route.. Just curious, whats the ported throttle-body for? I'm new to this platform.

And from what I've seen, its around 650-700 whp.

I'd think around 70-100whp...better to err on the conservative side.

Am I reading your post correctly?

You picked up 56 horsepower over pure stock with a Halltech AND a TB, pulley with long tubes with a tune, on 93 Octane?

Then you switched to E85 and a tune(along with the Halltech, TB, pulley and long tubes), and you picked up 135 horsepower over pure stock?.

Lol, yes that is exactly what I am saying. And look at the Tq numbers. Those are even more impressive in my book.

I can believe it. If my 1.6L turbocharged Ecoboost can pick up 25hp and 20pft at the wheels running E30, I can only imagine what an E85 set up on a 6.2L supercharged engine would produce....
