For an auto? My guess will be 216whp tops. Not really worth it if you ask me. Tune it when there are more bolt ons added.

How's your driviability? Was it stronger all over or just at the top?

How do you plan to make an assessment of whether it is "worth it" if you don't know the cost?

If you ask the guy that's selling the car on Ebay you'd be at about 300HP.

If reality is what your looking for I'd agree with teh guys above and guess somewhere between 215 and 220whp. I'd also agree that a professional tune isn't worth it until you add a few more bolt ons.

But you'd definitely feel a difference opening up the cars breathing and exhaust and I think you'd be very happier. Just be really careful on what muffler/resonator combo you pick. Some can be really drony at higway speeds and can be no fun if you highway drive allot.

NA cars dont get as much with tunes as FI cars, but it will be more power none-the-less. Just gotta value HP/Cost ratio.
