Thanks.
No tunning as of yet.

My goal is anything above 370hp / 375 ft-flbs. NA on stock internals.
I am hoping the following mods will get me there.

3" Cutout & QTEC
SLP Lid to replace the SLP/Downloadson (OEM Firehawk)
March Pulley
Electric Water Pump
LSX Intake
HP Tuners Tunning w/ Wideband O2

Does anyone think its possible?

370 would be a nice number. You started out with a pretty strong car, so I would say maybe you could get there. I myself would be happy with 350 rwhp with N/A and stock internals, so if you get above that, then consider yourself lucky! It could happen since your car started strong, only way to know is to get the mods and get the dyno!

you can probably get to 370 if you get the LSX manifold/throttlebody combo and maybe some rocker arms for insurance.

Getting 370rwhp would be tough even for a 02.

The Electric Water Pump might give you 0-5, but I think closer to 0, and the LSX won't give you anything over the LS6 with just bolt-ons.

Meziere results.

LSX 78mm Intake results.

The tuning,cutout, pulley, and maybe the lid could put you at 360 maybe 365rwhp.

We just installed/tuned a 2000 trans am with Kooks LTs with offroad y-pipe and 3.5" custom catback. Car hit 346rwhp/353rwtq, and this is with a ls1 intake.

The Kooks make the power. Looking for a set? We'll hook you up with the best price guaranteed.
