I'm not expecting anything significant. The motor is a sohc vtec d15b with i,h,e pulleys and a cam gear and a Vafc. I'm planning on taking it to Eugene over at prostreet to get it tuned. What can i expect as far as hp gains?

Depends on a number of things. How strong your motor is now among other things. I would'nt expect more than 5 to 10 hp ever.

The car should be night and day but like you said, no miracles here.
