Default bolt-ons cam hp gain?

Hey all, i have a completely stock ls1 and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me roughly how much hp I would gain from putting on 1 7/8 headers, tsp true duals, and ls6 cam and intake. And if I put all this on at the same time, would I need to be looking at getting it dyno tuned?

And also, where could I get some good exhaust clamps for the tsp true duals?

Maybe 60 hp or so and yes you should get it tuned

That seems like a good gain in hp. Think the car will be able to make the 2hr trip to the shop, or should I trailer it?

You shouldn't have an issue if you keep it out of high RPMs. Just drive it nicely, if you're not comfortable with that and have access to a trailer, then take the trailer.

Okay, I'll probably just end up driving it there then, thanks for the info guys.

These work the best. As you tighten them, they form to the shape of your pipe(s). Verify diameter of your pipes and buy the appropriate size.

I would def have it tuned. And tsp duals should come with exhuast clamps. When I bought mine they were included.

A tune will be necessary for the mods to get the best power out of it.

I've heard the clamps that come with the tsp duals don't do a good job of sealing up the connections but I could be wrong

i drove around for months after adding ls6 cam, 243 heads etc... its not a huge cam difference so drive-ability will be fine. a/f ratio may be a little off, but not like it will melt any pistons or anything lol.

I have full cold air induction, cooling fans on at 120* and 160* t-stat, FAST 78 MM intake which is equal to LS6 intake and pace-sucker 1 3/4 LTs, ory and slp lm catback and tuned to 12.4 - 12.6 a/f on WOT to 6600 rpms, made 390whp/380wtq but that was on cali's 91 **** gas too.
