You will add about 100HP with those mods. Very little add with no cats vs high flow, but what you will do is reduce heat int he side sills with no cats vs high flows.

First generation SR (1992–1995)



Generation One
Viper RT/10



Production
1992–1995

Body style(s)
2-door roadster

Engine(s)
8.0L V10
400hp (298kW)465lbf·ft (630N·m)

Transmission(s)
6-speed manual

Wheelbase
96.2in

Length
175.1in

Width
75.7in

Height
44.0in

Curb weight
3400lb (1542kg)
The first prototype was tested in December 1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute it in place of the Japanese-built Stealth due to complaints from the UAW, and went on sale in January 1992 as the soft roofed RT/10 Roadster.
The centerpiece of the car was its engine. Originally designed for a truck platform and based on the Chrysler LA design, a division of the Chrysler Corporation revamped Dodge's cast-iron block V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and head in aluminum alloy. Some within Chrysler felt the pushrod two-valve design, while adequate for the truck application, was unsuitable for a performance car and suggested a more comprehensive redesign which would have included four valves per cylinder. Chrysler, however, was uncertain about the Viper's production costs and sales potential and so declined to provide the budget for the modification.
The engine produced 400 hp (298 kW) at 4600 rpm and 465 ft·lbf (630 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing allowed by the torquey engine, provided surprising fuel economy at a claimed 21 mpg US (11.2 L/100 km) if driven sedately. The body was a tubular steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) fiberglass panels. Much of the suspension, following the manufacturer's "engine first" mantra, was sourced from the Dodge Dakota pickup. Typical of American performance car design, it had a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels; it was also very light in respect to modern Ferrari's with a curb weight of 3,280 lb (1,488 kg) and lacked many modern driver aids such as traction control or anti-lock brakes. Car and Driver magazine referred to this generation as "the world's biggest Fat Boy Harley", and likened driving it to "playing ping pong with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat." Despite this, in straight line performance, it completed a quarter mile in 12.6 seconds and had a maximum speed of over 180 mph.
The car was also devoid of any real luxuries. Along with the absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle lacked windows and even a roof. Although a soft top cover was available, it was designed primarily for outdoor vehicle storage. In terms of interior space, the trunk was large enough for the rain cover and little else. Chrysler's purpose for the vehicle was clear in almost every aspect of its construction; from the unyielding bolstering of the seats to the side-exit exhaust that came with its own disclaimer against passenger injury. Performance came first, creature comforts last (if at all).
Performance:
0-60: 4.6 sec.
0-100: 9.1 sec.
quarter mile: 12.6 sec. @ 119 mph
top speed: 180+ (confirmed by Road and Track magazine / 1992)
700 ft slalom: over 65 mph
skidpad average g: .96

High flow will reduce some vs stock. No cats will reduce even further.

Full exhaust, at a min replace the mids with 3" mids with high flow or no cats and of course cat back. Like the Viper the 4 cats on the SRT-10 is a bad thing.

If a QC you will need a PCM flash.

Anything you do that will give you any decent gains will cost at least $600, with a full exhaust pushing 2500-3000.

It is a buyers market on these trucks right now. You should be able to get a low mile truck for 25-29K.
