Will I have about 400 horses at the fly? I have bought a few parts for the TA since it has been in storage. They are the following:
1. TSP lid
2. Smooth Bellows
3 SSRA2
4. Magnaflow catback
Right now the car is stock with the exception of the LSS. If my car where to dyno at the average stock LS1 dyno figures do you think I will be around 400 horses at the flywheel once I get these parts on the car?

I think you'll pick up 10-15 fwhp for the lid and about 25-30fwhp with the cat-back. The SSRA won't show on the dyno and the bellow will be negligible at best. So to answer your question, I think you'll be 385-395fwhp if you have a strong car to begin with.

As the other's said that most likely won't be enough to get you to 400. I've got Longtubes and such and to the fly i put 405hp (344rwhp, factoring for a 15% drivetrain loss). Buy some headers!
Oh well, I will take any horsepower increase I get. Trending Topics

He asked for fwhp. You would need 340rwhp (with a 15% drivetrain loss) to achieve this. If you have a stocker that dynos 320rwhp (doubtful, but humor me) and got 12rwhp from the lid and 18rwhp from the cat-back(both doubtful, but again...humor me), you could be there. Unfortunately, fwhp means about zero in the real world. Get your mods and dyno it.

A bolt on car should be able to get to 340 RWHP (400 FWHP) without much problem. I figure I'm at 335 with the few mods I have. I dynoed at 321 with just the lid. See sig for times too.
