Default Realistic Expectations
I've got a stock '98 with 69K on it. I know these cars produce 290-300 rwhp, but I'm bolting on a CAI, long-tubes to a Corsa x-pipe and Corsa Xtreme exhaust. It''ll be dyno-tuned when done and I'm expecting to see 330-350 at the wheels. That's a realistic expectation, isn't it?

Auto or manual? Street tires or DR's? Lots of variables.

I would say mid 12's in good conditions and drag radials.

Sorry...auto with street tires. Don't drag with it, but track it. Just curious if my rwhp expectations are realistic...

Yes, if you have a good tuner.

I picked up 40, but your top number is gonna depend on what it baselines at before mods...

Definitely realistic. My '01 with the same mods and tune pulled 348/359. Six speed though.
