Look you had 125 at the flywheel. Because of your cars weight it lowered it a good amount to my guess of 110-115? Not positive but I would guess you would gain about 10 hp from all your mods. But I could be wrong. Im just letting you know weight plays a big factor in this.

125 at the wheels stock? that's a bit more than the 6th gen I4 puts out stock.

There's a big difference between advertised power (at the crank), and the power that is actually put out at the wheels (whp).

For example, the stock 6th gen is advertised to put out 150hp at the crank, when it puts out ~123hp at the wheels. You can't guess how much power you're putting out by adding it to the "advertised" power, because you don't know if Honda has under or over rated it...

i/h/e+no tuning doesnt equal 40whp. You are MAYBE getting 130whp, over about 110 stock, so still decent power increase. Post a dyno, if this is true I think I'm going to go buy a 4th gen.
