What's the HP expectations with just the maggie and a CAI?

From what I've read even with headers and a mild cam it can be a decent daily driver. I personally don't want a screaming loud car but even with headers I guess you could do a mangaflow exhaust or just keep it stock from the cats back.

From what I've read in order to get the same power using a cam and heads you'll have a lot more drivability issues and I'd wonder if it really was really any safer on the bottom end. I don't know, I'm still learning but I'll be curious what the input is. Good luck!

I'm running 560 tire HP / 520 tire TQ through Doug Thorley Headers, OEM mid-section, Magnaflo cars and Borla Touring mufflers... Very noticeable grumble w/ little to no resonance/hum... Stock heads, cam, valves, etc.. Just the blower, intake, headers.
