depends. stock 5spd tc dyno's at 140whp-ish with all bolt ons I/H/E/P you'll be lucky to be near 160-165whp.

noones installed cams yet on a turbo &/or NA tc bc BC cams haven't been proven and there's no testing or research on them or even proven numbers. same thing goes for the intake manifold.

look up tcpetes thread he's pushing the most for a NA tc at 205whp I think,bolts ons, tuned, built motor etc

still no proof on the power of the F/I cams either. I know there's a few of them running it just no numbers.

the NA cams I know Shift N Red has them but no numbers or anything aswell.

I think its a fail move on BC's part for not even testing them out and putting out potential gains on them.

fail

I have cams on my car i dont have a dyno before and after but my numbers are in my sig and i have dyno sheet for them... just to compare what others made at 16 psi i think the gain is not bad at all.
