There are a few mods i want to do to a stock 89 5.0 but i would like to know what kind of power increases i will get out of them.

1)CAI w/k&n
2)Magnaflow catback
3)GT-40 intake
4)3:73's
5)Longtube headers
6)underdrive pullies
7)65 mm tb
8)mach1 hood
9)MSD ignition w/9mm wires
Is there anyting else that is going to be needed to go with this or will this be a pretty good setup to start with....any ideas on what kind of power it would be putting out.

im not really a fan of the whole cat-back thing. I would rather get a Dr.G x-pipe...

For the price of the intake, cai,and headers, you could get a set of thumper heads. I would get the heads and the gears. With the mods your getting the MSD wont really be needed. I would take that money and buy a set of shorty headers. The power difference in my oppinion between shorty and longtubes is not worth the extra money or hassle. With the setup you have listed I would expect maybe 20 to 30 HP increase.
