it could be a little less maybe since u havnt been tuned but a dyno only cost around
$150 its the tune that cost more oh you said it was tuned or do you mean by a handheld tuner

First off, it's estimates. Grammar is a pet peeve of mine, sorry.

Second, probably no more than 340/345 ish.

I'm glad to see a 16 y/o with an LS1, I was 17 when I got mine. But how have you already had LT1(s) in the past if you're only 16? Jw

To disable the auto headlights there is a little sensor on the dash near the defroster. If you pull up the plastic, cut the wire and twist the two ends together and tape it together and then you have control of the lights.

Hi,
i think the aforementioned numbers are high. My experience with many tunes put you in the 325-345 rwh range with current mods. The power varies due to tuner/dyno/conditions/etc. Wishing you the best with your project.......
Remember stock units make 265/285 rwh some a little higher if you had the
corvette cam........i just finished a 98/formula/ws6 with the same mods/3.73/a-4
326/340rwh/tq with a dyno tune and tweaking........this should enlighten you
on your vehicle. Have a blessed week--------captain jim

What's the different how much power the car has, what matters is how good you can drive it and how fast you can make it go. Since you're only 16 I'd say you need quite a few years to improve your driving skills more than you need power.
