Hi!:D

I would like your opinions on how much HP I might make from my

planned mods.

Star OR Hahn Stage 1
AFX 55mm Throttle Body
OBX Underdrive Pulley
Fidanza Cam Gears
RRE Lightened Flywheel
Straight Pipe (replacing cat conv.)
Thermal Research & Development SS Cat-Back Exhaust
Magnecore Plug Wires
NGK Plugs

Note:These are only my planned "power" mods.

Thanks for Reading!

er... where did you get 25hp from? Stock is 140 flywheel, maybe as low as 112 WHP. he said 175 WHP (so a gain of 60+ WHP)

so lets say prehaps 25% drivetrain loss, that's gaining roughly 75 WHP. i'd say that's a fairly good estimate. The only real power adding mod there is the stage 1 turbo. The flywheel, plugs, and wires wouldn't add any power at all... The catback & straightpipe however might add a bit more I'd say around 230 flywheel.... 185-ish whp?

sorry.. i just realized how many numbers i through around in this post!
 
toss the underdrive pulley's, don't get me wrong they're a power adder,yes but they make all your acc. work harder. if you got all the money to do all those add ons, why not get a stage 2? turbo good, intercooled turbo much better....250+hp at the wheels....sounds much better to me than 200-hp at the wheels thats for sure!
