Question Edelbrok heads?

How much WHP would a LS1 make with just the RPM extreme cylinder heads?

Kinda needing more info on your car.

A4 or M6?
What cam?
What bolt-ons?

Not sure what the extreme heads flow.. You might look into TSP Terminator heads that are cnc'd from Edelbrock casts.. They have a 200cc intake runner & flow over 300cfm @ .600 lift.. Spec a cam with those heads along with good supporting mods & you could easily see 420-450rwp with a good tune.

Stock LS1, manual, zero bolt ons, no tune.

I'm a LS1 noob, but I think with your current stock state those heads would be about the worst dollar to hp gain at this point. You'd probably pick up some hp but nothing like you would by doing supporting mods and a cam first (or at the same time). Let the whole engine breathe, not just the (spendy) heads.
You might have a hard time finding numbers because it would be pretty uncommon to upgrade heads before doing anything else.

IIRC, those heads are for use with their cam and NO tuning.

Can't say on the Edelbrock, but the AFR's out of the box with a stock cam have been shown to produce 40-45 hp pretty consistently. That is with no cam install. CARB legal, too
