My buddy, who's not really a hands on car guy at all, got his hands on a very nice Procharged C 5 convertible ( model year 00 ), six speed.
I remember when he picked it up the previous owner said that it "should" dyno at over 500 to the wheels with the 8psi pulley. But it was running the 5 psi pulley at the time and he did not mention what it put down on the dyno.
Now the reason I ask is because driving my Trans AM around town it feels faster then his 'vette did ( which is a bit strange right? ).
Actually, we lined up his vette with a 2004 Z06 with only a TR224 cam and DR's and the z06 took it pretty good. ( a couple lengths ).

So what would a bone stock vette, ( only mod being cheap ebay headers ) put down to the wheels at 5psi?

At 8 psi on a stock LS1 vette (no other mods) would be 450-460rwhp. He would need a full exhaust at the least to maybe hit 500.

5psi on a stock LS1 would be 400ish
That Z06 with the tr224 cam would be around 430rwhp+ I bet
