anyone who could give me some thoughts or ideas on what to expect from this after all the mods i have feel free to chime in

basically... do the ends justify the means...
Go to Dyno Database Online to see a 9HP gain from an UpRev tune. This was done for Import Tuner Magazine. Just add Nissan and 370Z in the Search fileds, and choose "Tuner, Import" as the owner.

By far, the biggest gains you will get are with high-flow cats. And with your current setup, adding HFC's would necessitate a tune.

And here is the printout thru the power band:
