Basic Bolt on m6 dyno estimates?
Basic Bolt on m6 dyno estimates? I have an 01 SS with an m6 and the following mods on it/being installed
SLP LM1(may get traded out for a magnflow)
MTI Lid
Free ram air mod
OBX stainless headers & Y
TR55's with Taylor wires
160* tstat
373's
BBK 80mm tb
ASP 25% ud pulley
LS7 clutch kit
Dyno tune
I know its pretty much your basic bolt on setup but I'm having a hard time with the search for some reason. I'm not getting tuned for about another month so I'm just antsy to know what kind of numbers I should put down. Thanks!

Not to sound rude or stupid, but what makes you say the only things that will add more hp are the lid and catback, if that was the case, what would be the use of running any other parts? The only thing I could see as literally making no extra power at all is the LS7 clutch kit due to the fact that it probably takes power away with rotational mass. I would think the 373's, headers, UD pulley, and TB would definately add to power or else no one would use those parts(except the headers I guess as a supporting mod for a cam)

UD pulleys may add a couple, only way to know is a before and after. TB's don't do crap by themselves. Aside from a few bolt ons, it's all about the over all package working together.
seriously gears add power. Holy ****. IDK what to say to that.
And I +1 Unit's ~350rwhp. Tell the dyno op. to make an adjustment and you'll make 400rwhp, especially if it's on a loaded dyno. Dyno numers RULE!

The exhaust mods will add power, the tb and ud pulley stuff MIGHT give you around 10rwhp, prob more like 5rwhp but will prob. make the pedal more responsive as people say at least.. The gears won't add power but it'll help with acceleration. Over all on a good tune you should be around 340-360rwhp with all that.
x2 on the <350rwhp. I'd say probably around 325rwhp and that is being generous at least on the dyno I was on. My LS6 with bolt ons only made 360rwhp. I'm sure I could shop around and find a dyno that would give me more but since dynos are tuning tools I won't be doing that.
would the acceleration difference have anything to do with torque numbers? that's why i mentioned it, so pony, go kill yourself before you try to clutter a thread I made asking a question with your know it all better than me BS. I'm here trying to learn like alot of other people. I mentioned only using headers as a supporting mod for a cam since the first person to respond said that having the lid and exhaust were my only power mods, speaking hypothetically that no one would run any of the parts I mentioned if they didnt do anything. You can run around all day and act like a jerkoff, it doesn't change the fact that I asked a question and if you have an issue with it, you should get the **** out and let someone who is looking to be helpful rather than an internet know it all answer the question if they are so inclined
I think Unit was trying to say that the things you listed that won't give you any more hp are the...
Free ram air mod
TR55's with Taylor wires
160* tstat
373's
LS7 clutch kit
I'd say...
SLP LM1 10hp
MTI Lid 8hp
OBX stainless headers & Y 20hp
BBK 80mm tb 5hp
ASP 25% ud pulley 5hp
Dyno tune 10 or 15hp
The majority of Ls1's start at around 350hp at the motor. So with the mods you listed
you'll be around 410hp to 415hp at the motor or again, about 350-355rwhp.
