How much HP / TQ did I gain? I installed Pacesetter LT's (non-emissions), and a mandrel bent 2.5" TD with an X and Flo Pro Twisters dumped. I can't feel the power difference because my transmission started slipping. 
Right now I'll be putting in a six speed in two weeks, though. 
Other mods are basic bolt ons; lid, FTRA, 3400 stall converter (not helping now), 3.73's. Any idea what I would run in the 1/4? Thanks for the input.

if you want to get max from your mods, you need a dyno tune. but gotta get the trans fixed before anything. and why may i ask are you converting to 6spd. just about all fast ls1's are all auto's. i know people that converted a ZO6 to a auto for racing.
if you want "cool" get a 6spd. but if you want to go fast, then stick with an auto.

It has nothing to do with "cool". I've only taken the car to the track once, when I first got it. I actually wanted a M6, but couldn't find a black Trans Am with anything but an A4. I decided to go ahead and get one with an auto instead of waiting and looking any longer. I always kinda regretted not holding out for an M6, even when I got my converter. I'm not really interested in drag racing as much as just having a fun weekend car to drive. I was just curious as to what kind of power I might have picked up.
