How much whp should I gain from custom ECU tune?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can estimate the gains I should expect from a custom ecu tune with Kleeman headers leading to a 3" downpipes midsection (X-Pipe)(no cats/res), Evosport pulley and a Quaife lsd.

Thanks in advance

Depends on the tune.
I gained 60 hp to the wheels with the OE Tune and 2ndary cat delete (straight pipe).

How are you going to mate the Kleeman headers + downpipes to the FMU mids if the FMU system bolts on to the stock headers?
Are you going to cut the FMU piping to make the Kleeman headers work?
I figure you would need to cut the FMU piping to weld the Kleeman down pipes to it.

FMU already did the cutting of their pipes to fit the kleemann headers. I already have all this done, i am just curious to see what I would get from a custom tune.

I would guess an average of 50whp.

I just got it all done, I wanted to do the tune last so it can be customized accordingly, I thought that was the best way?

Doesn't Kleemann already have a tune to match their headers?

I'm sure a custom tune will net the most power.. Right now your mods I'm sure are not performing to there potential so I'm sure u will see a dramatic increase in power

What ballpark of whp are we talking? I am hoping to see gains of over 70+whp does that sound right?
