Default how much hp should I expect?

I have a M6 '01 SS it only has a soon-to-be-replaced exhaust, and chip. I want to get a streetable cam, long tubes, custom piping, and no cats.

I haven't dyno'd it yet so when I do get it should i expect a large gain. What should i expect in the track timeslips with street tires and alright driver.

You haven't supplied anywhere near close to enough information. Also, this kind of thread is discouraged here, and will probably be locked/deleted.

I'd say anywhere between 345rwhp-410rwhp

Stock- you should put down 300 to 325 Cam only w/full bolt-ons= 380-440 depending on what size cam and types of bolt-ons. Stock times with street tires could be anywhere from 12.8-13.5(105-109mph) depending on track conditions, temp., how sticky your tires are, how well you can launch and shift your car. cam only cars with slicks and rear with 440rwhp can go high 10s at around 122 and with380rwhp you should be in the 11s trapping about 116-118mph.

I don't think I could give any more information on my exhaust other than 3" piping and no cats.

cat back exhaust = about 10 hp
chip = little to no gain (don't waste your money)

read the stickies at the top of the page for more info.

assuming all them mods done & a cam along with Tune and you able to drive the car you could expect to run around Mid 11's

You'd think with all the hundreds of kills this guy has in his sig he wouldn't be asking such a dumb question.

Read the stickies and do some searches.
