Decent mods for the 8

these are just general performance mods i'd like to do to my 8, i figured i could ask here. Anyway i just want to know how much better my car would preform with a high airflow air filter in it, with a racingbeat cat back exhaust, aluminum engine pulleys and a MM access port cobb tune?

2007 6speed AT here.

thanks for the reply's and answers.

true but all i really want to know is how well my car will perform with the stuff i am gonna add to it, like a rough estimate of the HP, and along with the stuff i listed probably put a good set of fuel injectors on it too.

Minor differences unless the rpm limit is raised to MT levels. Then one risks the tranny.

You'll likely pick up about 30whp with those mods. If you pick up an Access Port, you'll likely gain about 10 more.
