Who's got the weakest H/C LS1 out there?

Does the torque come up early and have a nice, flat curve? I do not see a ported and polished TB or intake manifold on there. Also, what y-pipe are you running? If you are still running a stock intake manifold, I can easily believe that some minor exhaust work, p/p TB, and a better intake manifold could get you up to or over 400/400. That, IMO, would be some pretty good results for a budget build DD w/ your cam in a 98.

well i got a 99 formula M6 she ran 12.58 w/ a 1.85 60ft @110 in gainesvilla * thanks to
LS1GTo.com renting the track* and that was with exhaust and MT DR's..with an internet configureation of hp/tq she was 389 hp and 370 tq...added ls6 intake,k&n,Lid,MSD wires, NGK Plugs, 80MM BBK TB, and a lunati cam 234/236 .050 544.545 lift 112LSA and she got tuned at VENGEANCE RACING and came up with 380 hp and 350 tq...and i have added goodies since then but nothing that will add power..

I would say that would be me with 390rwhp and 310ftlbs of torque.
I've got ls6 intake, comp cam 224/230, patriot stage 2 heads, headers/exhaust, joe blow ported tb. This is on a t-56 trapped ALMOST 116mph.
Trying decide if i should switch to a fast intake with some tsp heads maybe add an underdrive pulley as thats what most guys making 500rwhp seem to have. However I can't imagine those changes will make for 90rwhp difference. So maybe I should just part ouf the engine and go for an tsp ls7. I mean $ for $ it will probally cost me 3k to swap the parts and stay with the ls1 crossing my fingers and hoping for 500rwhp or I could spend 8k and know i'll be making a minimum of 550 to the wheels.

DAMN, I just realized how long this was
Maybe I got you guys pretty beat with my weaksauce setup.
bbk intake and t.b, 80mm
mti lid
hooker longtubes dumped to bullets
granatelli maf
42# racetronix
5.3 heads, supposedly been milled down to 58cc, and ported and polished. SUPPOSEDLY
f13 cam 230/232 595/585 112
comp 918s
stock t-56 w/ ls7 clutch
bone stock 10 bolt
404/391 the torque is good, but we were looking for alot more hp. since the heads were definite unknown, all i was hoping for was at least 415/390.
i've been trying to troubleshoot my problem areas, and i know i need to get rid of the bbk setup, but im waiting to see how the weiand does. i dont know how the granatelli maf does compared to others, but its huge and open, so i cant complain.
the heads were cheap enough that no matter what they would have been a gain over my 98 heads. the seller claimed that they were ported and polished, and milled to 58cc but i never verified and he never had them on his car so we don't know for sure what the deal is with them. when i got them also, the casting number was machined off one of the heads too. they were cheap enough to be hit or miss, but i don't think they are all they are made out to be.
i also need to get rid of the bbk crap. that **** was a definite impulse buy when i didnt know anything about the car.
any ideas?

Found out I had a loose plug wire and the tpis was only open 88% with these fixed i'm at 342 on the mustang dyno now.

Mods in sig. Hoped for much more for the $$$ I dropped. Soon to add FAST 92/92 ported by Tony Mamo. Hopefully that will help out. Not sure if they nailed the tune though, still drives inconsistent.
