Short ram intake- doesn't add much to a fuel injected enigine. Your car breathes better, but it's the same warm engine bay air you were sucking in with the stock intake. Fuel injected engines crave cold air. You've gained 5 or maybe 10 horses if you're lucky.

New plug wires- If they aren't honda factory wires you just lost yourself a couple of horses on these.

If the plugs aren't NGK you also lost a couple of horses here too.

the rest doesn't really help either. With the gains and losses cancelling each other out, you're probably at baseline as far as horsepower.

well the wire that were stock got replaced when the car got towed .. long storey , and the intake no matter how bad it is is better than stock. And the car was taken great care of it was my moms, she drove it off the honda showroom floor in 1987. never had engine trouble

Probably 90-95 whp. I wonder how much im putting out, i think i will go get it dynoed. A place up the street charges $80 for 3 passes with full color print outs with hp, torque and a/f ratio.

It depends on what model engine you have of course. But short ram intakes are cool. All you need is some Z3 fenders or a functional hood scoop to let the cold air in and you are set.

i agree with the rest of these boobs (*jk)

i mean if bustedblue made 106 with freaking dc headers, custom magnaflow exhaust, cold air and whatever else he put on it (i know its a lot) im pretty sure youre only makeing 80 to 95 lol
