    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.

    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.
