hey all, im installing an aem short ram air intake, pacesetter exhaust headers, and a high flow cat converter. I already have a performance muffler and a new 2.5 inch pipe from the cat to the muffler. can anyone give me an estimate on the horsepower gain i will achieve after all parts are installed?

GAH....... 10-15hp of that stuff????? are you kidding me? try more like 110-115 if u just add the type-r badges and NOS stickers..... they are dyno proven to add 70% hp to the front wheels of your 240 dude. but you may have to buy a vtec controller because when you are pushing that much horsepower, you will need to take it off to avoid your carbuerator from running rich. also, do not forget to volt down ALL of the bolts of your "gsx" (RS) eclipse so when u go 140 your diamond-plated floorboard wont fall out!!

THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN U STREET RACE!!

1. more stickers= more power

2. double stack wing= when the downforce pushes down on the back of your car, it makes the front end lighter, and you know what happens when your car is lighter? its FASTER!!

3. the bigger your wheels are, the more rubber that is in contact with the ground... this means more traction, making your car FASTER!!

4. that $300-$400 tach you bought to put on your a pillar makes it easier to see your revs, since your SOHC DX honda REALLY goes through those gears THAT FAST

anybody got some more?

seriously though, id say more like 20 - 25 if you have your engine in good operating order ( new plugs, wires, o2 sensor, fuel filter, oil and filter, transmission and diff fluid, coolant)
