ok, I know you're gunna say get it dyno'd but if I could I would and I can't that's why I'm asking so please please please no telling me to find out some other way, if you'r enot gunna estimate for me with your knowledge then don't post ok so AROUND(GUESS) how much HP would I have with dc 4-2-1 header, 2.5" custom exhaust with apexi N1 muffler, venom 400 module, aem intake, ngk plugs, msd 8.5 mm wires, high flow cat and 450 cc injectors???
 
Well, the venom 400 thing is a piece of junk and wont do a thing for you. 450cc injectors would just drown your motor in fuel people usually only run 440s when they are pushing 15 lbs of boost or something like that. Otherwise you may gain about 8-10 whp maybe more but not too much.

well lets brake it down

Header: 2hp tops
2.5" piping and n1 muffler: 5hp
i have no experience with the venom thing but heard nothing but bad stuff
aem cold air intake: 8-12, short ram:3-5
NGK plugs: none
MSD wires: none
high flow cat: 5hp
450cc's way too much. you dont need new injectors with those mods... the 190's will do fine. when you get some porting work done, boost, or something else to greatly increase your intake capacity, then you can move up to maybe 300cc's? but for now you should be set

get an AF/X UDP its nice and gives decent gains...

the totals... a peak of between 20hp-22hp with a cold air, 15hp - 17hp with a short ram... but those are peak. you would likely get slightly less. my guess would be 15hp - 17hp with a cold air intake and 10-12 for a shortram
 
Speed Mods: 18" motegi Mr12's, Tokico Illumina shocks, Apexi N1 muffler soon to be 2.5 custom piping all the way back. Panasonic head unit, spl 600 watt amp and 2 pioneer 12's in the hatch. In a couple weeks I'm getting a Blitz body kit, Evo style spoiler, tint and I'm painting it black.

those are suppose to be speed mods... the bold is all that belongs there

My engine is stock. But instead of wasting my time with little 2 hp adding bolt on mods I'm just going turbo

a little contridicting eh?
 
that was my first thought but I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go and what's a AF/X UDP, thanks

its an underdrive crank pulley that is smaller and lighter, so it puts less drag on the engine to run the accessories.

there it is new, you may be able to find it cheaper on ebay. its a little bit of a pain in the ass to install but its nothing extremely bad. heres the article i wrote on how to install it.

all in all its a pretty decent mod with some good gains.
 
The AFX UDP doesn't give you more HP... it frees up HP taken up by the accessory belt on your car... but it's a good mod. No probs with the charging system as some has reported.
