I'd say 15-20 at most.

Depending on if it is tuned properly or terribly, you could see -5HP to about 10HP max. That's right, you can see a decrease.

headers just dont our cars much power, you have to remember, we dont have v8s, just get your exhaust manifold ported, that will give you as good or better gains as a header, the whole exhaust you have listed might gain you 5 HP, the intake another 5 HP, IMO just save your money and get a turbo kit, you'll be much happier

i'm going with mizundastood...

While you could see a loss, its probably not likely, unless you're having major tuning issues. My guess is an additional 10-20 at the crank.

The thing with the headers is that, while you wont get but maybe a 1-2 hp gain at the top end, you'll definitley get a bit more torque at the lower rpms. This definitley helps, IMO... I just can't stand that "dead zone" before the power curve... feels like i'm flooring it and it isn't going anywhere.

Kyle the potentual of the 420A is big ! I have seen an all motor 14 sec. car. If you want to go all motor those mods are good, but if you want to reach that 14 or 13 sec mark fast go turbo. If your serious about racing u ditch yur sound system your interior from the front seats back, Luanch spring kit and a high compression rebuild with the mods you stated and driving you will see 14 sec. maybe 13
