A million. OK, not that much. Probably about 20 or so additional horses to the wheels. If you get a test pipe or HFC, you should be able to put down about 10-15 more after the tune.

IMO, pass on the Stillen intake and get a revup intake box w/ a good filter, and skip on the pulley and get the Transgo kit and higher final drive instead.

And don't forget to get a map for 100 octane gas. You can make another 10-15 on 100 if you get tuned for it.

Dofu didn't realize he put art pipes. Dofu stated with hfc/test pipes expect 10-15 more. I know art's aren't conventional test pipes and they're supposed to be better or something. I said in a non-rude manner that he had test pipes listed, to alert Dofu so he could give him a better number. Who knows, maybe art will give closer to 20 with those mods rather than 10-15 with a conventional hfc/test pipe? I didn't answer the OP's question because I don't know enough on the subject and am not gonna give false information. Rather I just wanted to help the OP get a better ballpark.

Thanks for the post enforcement though, officer

No. Test pipes after i/h/e will make about 10-15 more horses once it's tuned. Hell, they might make about 10 after a tune by themselves.

Depending on your altitude I doubt you'll exceed 250hp on an AT platform on a dynojet. Don't get me wrong they are all solid mods in your list- the g just doesn't respond well to breather mods. The tune will get you the bang for your buck- but the smartest comment above is to invest in the transgo. Best. Mod. Ever. (for the at).

I would like to see some kind of proof of this extra 10 whp you can make by tuning on 100 octane. 1 it's impractical since you'd have to pretty much completely empty the tank then refill with only 100 to use it, 2 you would have to get a completely different dyno tune with that fuel to effectively use it, and 3 a stock non revup VQ35DE is
No where near capable of utilizing it. Maybe if you threw in some hi comp pistons and such we'd talk, but EVERYTHING I know about this engine is leading me to call BS on this one

5/16 motordyne iso thermal spacer
transgo kit +higher final drive
motordyne tdx2/Motordyne Art Test pipes
Osiris Ecu Tunning

You don't need the iso thermal spacer, save some money and pick up a used basic or 150 in the classifieds. Transgo and gearing absolutely yes but not cheap, find a reputable shop that's done them before and just do it. If you go bargain shopping and they mess up your trans you will be hurting for $$ big time.

Unorthodox pulleys don't do, barely make any difference and for the added risk to your engine not worth it IMO.

ART pipes are fantastic. Expect to spend around 500

Why ARK exhaust? Pretty much all cat backs perform the same, it really just comes down to looks and sound.

Osiris tuning anywhere from $300-800 depending on how and where you get it done, with $300 being just for the flash license and one time tune with no dyno, $500 for the license and cable from uprev, or $600-800 for just the flag and tune at a shop, no cable.

There's a serious limit to what a non revup DE with stock heads can make NA, I would recommend saving money on some of these mods and looking into suspension upgrades and an LSD

4k you should get plenum spacer/longtube headers/single exhaust/light weight driveshaft/ams pulley/rev up box with knn drop in/churches tb spacer/cams and tune that comes out to lil less or a lil more.. just got to shop around instead of the cams maybe some light weight wheels or carbon fiber stuff!! but for 4k why not just by a vortech and slap it on and youll get like 30more hp then all of the stuff best and the easy way to go lol
