Default 98 z-28 a4

Hey guys, I just bought a 98 Z-28, and the mods he says it has are as follows....Wieand Lingenfelter Aluminum Intake, BBK 80mm TB, Hooker Headers (shorties), with Flowmaster catback, MTI lid....suspension has Eibach lowering springs, tubular subframe connectors, tubular lower contriol arms, lower control arm relocating brackets, tubular adjustable panhard bar, Bilstien shocks and struts, 3.42 gears, Moser 28 spline axles, and PCM 4 less tune. First off, I gotta say, I was really suprised at how clean this car was for its age inside and out. I am also really suprised at how strong it runs. Any guess as to what the rwhp might be with this car? Gonna take it to the track next weekend and see what she runs, definitely gonna be a big difference for me than what I am used to running there....I have a 04 Silverado SS. Thanks for any input guys, and I will get back to you on what she runs next week

Many people will give you different estimates of your hp gains. The only true way to know is to get it on the dyno, but with mods you have listed I would say 35 to 45 hp over stock. Lid=5 shorties=10 flowmaster=5 intake=10 TB=5 tune=5

rough estimate would be low. the killer would be the shorties, but you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the input guys, he did'nt mention any tranny mods, but I'm thinkin it has atleast a shift kit as well. The guy I bought it from is'nt the one that done the mods, he says he bought it from a friend who was going through a divorce, and needed the money. I was very surprised at how well and strong the car runs. Here are a few pics.
