crank hp isn't really a useful number. It matters what HP you put to the wheels.

You should put about 175 to the wheels with the above listed mods, about 25 less than a 2k2 or 10-15 less than a 2k 5sp.

This will cause your car to pull stronger at mid-hi rpms.

(Not sure what cia is so I ignored it, do you mean cold air intake (CAI) if so you will have a few more hp than a K&N drop in)

Honestly with the lastest dyno I saw of a 2k1 AE Auto, I would expect more like 185hp to the wheels. Cause that guy got 181whp with just a OSCAI.

Na, Like I said, the guy with the 2K1 AE AUTO came in at almost 180hp with just a OSCAI. The mods you listed will add about I would say 20hp to the wheels.

There has been a big variation in dyno's around here.(as well as 1/4 mile times)

I've seen 2k auto's dyno stock at 160 (I think it was paul) and a fully modded at only 175 (I think desert pearl).

But I have also seen a 2k stock dyno at 170. The truth is +/- 5hp or so is as accurate as your going to get.

Some folks lost Hp when they went with the UDP!! What is up with that??

Then add in lighter wheels, synthetic oil, dyno equiptment, there are many factors that can sway the results.

You never know! I would love to dyno my car but at $75, I'll save the money for mods.

Bottom line, with thoese mods an auto is still behind a 5sp and 2k2.
