I would guesstimate 25 to 30 rwhp with the combination of the two. If you look in the CAI thread there are some good average results on just the CAI alone.

I did both mods at the same time and it may be the noise difference helps quite a bit with the overall difference. I agree, 10 hp here, 15 hp there isn't very noticeable (nitrous tuning / passes on my 96 Z28), but add two of those together and throw in much more aggressive sound (s/c whine) and it can become noticeable.

No tune was required and no SES/CEL lights were thrown.

I will say this, my mpg went from 14/15 area to 11/12 area because I can't seem to keep my foot out of the throttle just to listen to the S/C whine.
