Default ls1 to ls6 conversion, how much HP?

i have a 98z and im updated my car with the ls6 intake, 2004 z06 cam/heads, and its going to get pro. tuned with HP tuners, and all i have is an SLP lid and borla exhuast, should i be up there with the 405hp z06 with these upgrades?

not worth the money, get some cheap ported heads and a 224 camshaft is you want to keep it fairly tame-400rwhp there, o and get some headers

Kind of something that i got but i got a 04 Z06 engine in my 98z also have LS6 intake, Pacesetter LT's ORY, Borla Adjustable catback. I eliminated A/C, Air, and EGR. i might be having it tuned this week coming up i'm hoping to make like 370-380 to the rear wheels if i get it done ill post the numbers.

Yeah it's not enough power for the money unless those LS6 heads are ported and you run the SLP 1.85:1 rocker arms as well, increasing the lift on the LS6 cam. If you want tame power, as recommended above, go with the TR224.

What if say he had the GMPP cnc ported z06 heads. What type of power do you think that would make?
