Default 350 hp lt1?

i have a 96 ss with 310hp stock. i want to do some small mods to give a little more hp and better fuel economy. i was thinking slp loudmouths, a real tune, tb bypass, tb spacer, tb airfoil, and slp cold air intake. i know the spacer and airfoil don't do much but it all helps. could i get 350 engine hp out of those?

agreed. maybe even an electric water pump but the other stuff is nonsense IMO. weight reduction, suspension, and tires would also help

No, but the right suspension and tires will help you utilize your power

yeah that is what i was shooting for. i don't think bolt ons could equate to 350hp at the crank or wheels on an n/a lt1 car. probably close though at the crank. well unless you consider heads and cam as bolt ons.

All of the power bolt-on's could get you there including RR's and EWP, but that would be on the engine. For 350rwhp you'd need a hotcam and at least ported stockers.

NO SPACER!!! every spacer i have seen has caused a decrease in hp. i have seen at least 3 dynos with them in person and they pulled the spacer and gained power and torque.

i have heard negatives about spacers. but i know most of the stuff is not much but the bypass kit has dyno records of 5 rear wheel hp. here's my math. starting at 310 i add the 5 for the tb bypass. i would guess that loudmouth exhaust would give at least 5 at the engine on a low average. cold air is good for 10 i'd think. they say 20 so figure half that. then the guys that do the tune guarantee 15 at the wheels. add them up to get 345. maybe i'm wrong but thats just how i got my numbers.
