If you put Headers, Injectors,Performance Exhaust System front to back and a cold air intake are you going to get even a worth while increase in power..

I figured if you get even 15-20HP out of that it isn't too bad? Is that about what you would get?

why do people think bigger injectors will get them more power?? has your car ever ran rich?? it wastes gas, power, and fouls out your plugs, could mess up the o2 sensor, thats what bigger injectors will do if your not running boost.

you will get around maybe 10hp if your lucky.

i thought your planning on running bigger injectors since you listed "injectors" in your mod list.

my bad.

those mods should increase the throttle response and top end.

the i/h/e combo will do very minimum. reason why they are so common is because they are like the easiest mods to put on a car. also, people like the sound of the CAI and exhaust. youll get like 2-3hp, maybe.

2-3 hp maybe? I beg to differ. I've seen i/h/e combo dynos and they aren't just 2-3 hp gains. Around 15 hp sounds more reasonable.

Regardless though, I agree that i/h/e combo will do minimum. Nevertheless, if your exhaust is rusted, it doesn't hurt to take the extra mile to run a performance exhaust system.
