You'll safely get 20 from DC headers. 30 is too much IMO. Injen CAI won't give you more than 2hp.

headers peak gain would probably be 30

iirc.. there was someone who did a dyno with the comptech header and did peak 30hp improvement

but throughout the powerband. it was somewhere between 15-20 or so..

No guys, I was wrong about the intake. It added about 8hp peak to a TL-S with CT headers. Pretty impressive for a CAI.

The more air you can get into these motors the more they make. The stock TB is a huge restriction.
