That much? I am going to assume less than 10 hp. Much less if it is non-vtec.

I agree, The header and cat were given too much. Lets knock the header down to 3 and the cat to 1.5.

in the top end your hp might have gone up, but all in all you're probably only gaining 1 or 2 ft-lbsexcept for upwards of 7.5k, at which point it's not very long before you are going to shift.

eh it wont be so impressive... these cars nowadays really are becoming very effcient fromt eh factory, back in the old days you'd add headers to a muscle car and free up tons of power, just because they were so poorly designed.

the only way to gain any noticible power in these post automotive-depression cars is to FI or do some major internal work to one of the components.
