    right now you prolly got about 3 or 4 from the exhaust, shortram = nothing. get header and cai maybe another 3.

    actually 7 hp from cai, header, and exhaust is pretty efficient, there are other variables, on a hot day you'll loose some power from the intake etc. but don't take my word for it, go dyno and tell us wat you get, this is just my estimation. alot of guys around my town would get boltons and get really cocky, they think they've gained like 20 or something and would try to race everyone in their dinky little civics and watnot.

    true gain in power comes from building the motor internally. and of course boost or no2.
