Default How Much Horsepower/Torque?

As of now i have ford racing shorty headers and steeda exhaust. Both came with the car. Now im lookin into buyin a JLT CAI with a brenspeed tune, how much horsepower and torque do you think i would have with The CAI tune and header, im not sure if the steeda exhaust is axle back or not. Also, would it be worth adding Steeda UDP's? btw the cars an auto

With a CAI/Tune you will gain between 15-30 hp depending on what tune you get. The headers and exhaust will not give you any hp gain. The UDP will give you about 5 hp.

+1

You MAY gain a few RWHP with the shorties.

It will also depend on which tune you are running at the time of the dyno. different tunes are targeted to different outcomes. I have found pretty significant differences in Brent's 87 and 93 tunes when I have run them. Take a couple of minutes and call Brenspeed guys before you buy and ask questions. They will tell you about the different tune options they have for you.

My goal was to get 300+ rwhp with my first group of mods(below).Recent dyno with Brents 87 torque tune put me at 307 rwhp and 328 torque. If I had the 93 performance tune loaded I believe that it should have been approachingthe 310 rwhp range.
