I do base my opinion on years of experience with Ford motors, both 302/351 and Mod motors.
While those motors NEEDED a lot of aftermarket to awaken them, the Toy 5.7 is a pretty efficient design from the get go.
I don't think I need to tell you; but while headers by themselves may add 20HP and cat back exhaust may add 15; together you may see 25HP.
And that 5HP gain with CAI may not even show up after an exhaust swap.
You cannot add all the parts up individually and come up with a figure(ricer math)......there's a lot of overlap.

There's overlap with some mods, sure, I won't argue that, but on a forced induction application my belief and experience has always been that the whole will be greater than the sum of the parts because every part becomes significantly more restrictive when dealing with pressures in excess of 760 torr. (eg. 5hp for one, 10hp for another, but together 20hp). I guess we'll just have to wait and see what numbers people are producing when it gets released.
