Default Hoping to get to 400rwhp...
Im at 375rwhp. I swapped out my crapmaster with a Hooker muffler, ported and polished my TB, and am about to slap on a set of stock LS6 heads. My question is, will that be enough to get me to 400rwhp and will I have to get it retuned for the extra mods? Thanks.

I don't know but you may as well install a cutout while you're at it. Good luck.

I would re-tune to setup the motor for the better breathing conditons. I bet you will hit 400 rwhp, or at least come close.
