   As a rough average with those mods I would say 5bhp (as mentioned above above) although in reality, it could be anything from 0-10bhp
   
   You probably wont notice 5bhp difference on a 98bhp engine to be honest
   Everyone says they do notice a different but generally this is in thier heads to justify the money they spent
   
   If you are planning to do more mods to up the power then it may be worth spending say £250 on those two as a starter for 10

   this. more cost effective to just do the conversion first if youre going for power

    Ive come to terms that my filter/mani/straightback is all placebo effect.
    
    It -does- rev quicker, but only in neutral.
    no real extra pulling power..

    no theres definately a difference i was just wondeing what sort of hp it would be. it gets from 80 to 100 alot quiker than it use to and it goes through the gears more smooth strangely mid range power is a yes aswell i noticed as soon as you hit 40 in 2nd it really picks up

    my 98hp vtr with raceland/green filter piper backbox supersprint race centre pipe and a cat with no catalyst in it ran 106bhp on rolling road, so +8 if the rollers were accurate.

    Very few rollers are accurate judging by some of the threads posted on here.....
