dynojet 99 a4 cam headers results
It made 349whp/351wtq 12.5afr-13 tops 99 corvette stock auto 3.15 gears with elgin 1839 220/224 .575 cam, tsp headers, stock 2.5" exhaust, better mufflers and volant oval filter. I think an ud pulley, ls6 intake and 243 heads would get it close to 400whp maybe. My 6 speed 98 z28 with 3.42 similar but smaller cam hooker headers free flowing exhaust and ud pulley stock 98 intake had made 375/375 on mustang dyno. It was worth the 75$ to confirm afr from a second shop and better dyno graph not sure what other upgrades there are if a varam power duct adds anything someone told me they lost 2-3hp. Maybe a 3.42 gear change, ud pulley, ls6 intake, 243 heads is only thing i can think of.
Friend w/98 WS6 M6, LS1 intake, T1 cam 221/221, mid length headers made ~361 whp
I don't think you'll hit 400 whp with a stock LS6 intake & stock 243 heads. More likely ~380 whp with that small cam. Definitely think with a good set of ported 243 heads you'll break 400+ whp with an LS6 intake.
Good luck either way.
My 98 z28 6 speed 3.42s with a slightly bit smaller cam around same .580 lift i was told and hooker headers 25% ud pulley made 375/375. Im trying to get somewhere around there i think the 243s would get it around there or 365 with ud pulley ls6 intake. They dont have the air bridge if it is restrictive and have a groove to port the throttle body. I a couple tuners told me that mustang dynos and dynojets can be setup to read the same numbers. This car did 114-116mph 1/4 miles 6600 rpm rev limiter and close to shifts i didnt have good tires but the speed is there for 1/4 mile and 375whp similar to a z06 stock.

ASP 25% under drive pulley worth 13 whp?
13 whp seems high unless engine is at high rpm 7,000+ rpm. Probably depends on at what rpm whp being measured more than anything else. It definitely helps rev faster, my 383 LS1 has a 25% UD ASP and it rev's better than my old heads & cam LS1 w/10% UD ATI or 416 LS w/10% UD ATI.
I ran it with the new cam and no belt for just 20-30 seconds and revved up real quick like 50hp gain atleast i put the belt back on and felt back closer to stock with cam upgrade revving.

Basically the old LS1 intake is inferior everywhere vs a Fast 92 powerwise. Maybe at 800 rpm the LS1 makes 1/2 hp more or something etc. The LS1 intake is very restrictive so much so back in the day ~2000 that reverse split cams like 230/224 were popular to try to get some more air into the motor. Single patterns like 228/228 etc were popular as well.

It appears this car is auto and is tuned for 6000 rpm shifts. I knew someone else with an auto, stahl bigger cam and a different tuner left the stock auto shift points. 3.42-3.90 gear would help. Does an ls6 intake add 10hp from idle-6k or is it it the high rpm range. This car being auto and mostly street driven i find it often at lower rpms vs a manual 6 speed which you have gear selection.
