Default Estimated HP?

Can anyone tell me about what I should expect in rwhp? Currently, I have a 98 ta m6 with a built t56, LCA, PHB,BMR swaybar, springs, tokico shocks, 18" C6 wheels rollin on Sumis! haha!

But, this winter I am installing .........

05 ls6 with ported/milled 243 heads, manly valves, pimp-*** springs, CAI, victor jr intake with aaron larsen elbow and nick williams 90mm TB, 30lb ford injectors, edlebrock fuel rails, pacesetter LT, ORY and magnaflow muffler, racetronix fuel pump and a cam to match the heads once they're done being ported/milled (I'm only looking to boost compression to around 11:1).
I won't be going with a radical drag racing cam though. I'm looking to use the car for autocross/street.

....I didn't forget about the clutch and tune either guys ;-)

Just a ball park HP/RWHP estimation would be cool! Thanks

2005 Ls6 I'm assuming out of a CTS-V?

Ls6 with worked over heads, intake, longtubes through a T56.. 380 would be my guess.

i would guess roughly 102 at the wheels...... but with those "pimp-*** springs" you might get closer to 107-110rwhp.

Ok ok ......I knew I was gonna get flammed for the whole "spring thing". I' m just not sure which ones I'm going with yet due to lack of research. I will be getting some good ones though!!

The LS6 block is actually out of a 04 GTO. I'm sorry for the 05 typo!!! I checked the numbers on the block, and it really is the ls6 block. After reading into it, I found it to be true that occasionally these blocks were used due to ls1 block shortages.

The springs will depend on what sort of cam you go with. If you go with a 224 cam. That would put you in the low 400's and thats plenty enough for someone new to the car game.

A good set of "pimp" patriot golds would be my choice.

Ask questions.. People are always going to be willing to help.

^ That's what I'm running.. But it really does depend. How much lift will be the deciding factor.
