A reasonable horsepower goal?

![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Alright i get my airforce bonus here in a few months and i'm trying to decide on a goal to set for with a whole bunch of goodies.
My 2000 black c5 w/ m6 is completely stock, the upgrades will be:
1.borla stinger exhaust system
2.Texas speed long tube headers and orx pipe
3.Halltech stinger intake
4.Slp 85mm MAF sensor
5.Vararam velocity stack
6.Ls6 intake
I was wondering if it was possible to hit 450 crank horsepower with these boltons along with a dyno tune from the local dyno. I just want to know if that is reasonable or if someone could give me a rough idea. or if i'm even close. I cant wait to finally start the modding on my baby. I'm new to vettes, so if i'm not even close, what would i have to do to hit 450 base horsepower.

Forget the velocity stack & SLP maf sensor (or any maf sensor other than stock) wasted money. ![turd](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/turd.gif)
Find someone who can take out the steering rack (1.5 hours labor in and out) and pop in a cam of your choice with valve springs along with an underdrive pulley... and enjoy the extra power/personality on top of the headers, cat back, and intake of your choice... (total with everything 90 bhp)
Buy used parts here or on CorvetteForum to help your budget...

LG Headers + Vararam+LS6 intake will give you about = 345-350 rwhp. Like the guys said drop 4 & 5 and add a cam. If you got the cast port & polish the heads while you got it apart.

forget the MASS air, waste of money and time. do long tubes, no cats, any cat back (i have the Ti) and a tune. you will be in teh 350-360 rwhp range. CAI adds no power. Vararam gets maybe 10 but at high speeds. with the money you want to spend on this stuff, you can do a cam for 500 bucks if you do it yourself and get a nice 400 rwhp number

When I had catback and intake my car made 320 to the wheels untuned. Now i have ls6 intake, borla stingers, lg long tubes, haltech cold air, and off road x pipe. Still not tuned so I will let you know the numbers when tuned.
