Default What do you think my HP is?

Hello all!
I recently bought my 2002 Trans Am WS6 and am absolutely loving it. My question is, with the mods that were already done to my car, where do you think it stands HP wise (mods are in my sig)? BTW, my car is an A4 so I know that will account for some HP loss.

Also, what next should I focus on performance wise? Gears, pullies, turbo charger (jk maybe someday though) etc.

Thanks for your input!

Just a guess - Without a tune yeah, I would say around that - maybe more. Seen some with same mods around 325-330 so IDK

probably closer to 320-330 since its got the ls6 intake.
do some cheap small supporting mods...
P&P throttle body, tourque arms, cold air intake, maybe a pulley..
True duals will also free up some HP

with a tune and those mods I put down 335whp on the dyno at straightline performance. If you don't already have a stall, get one. Best mod for where your car sits right now. You can thank me later.

i made 334 through an A4 with the mods in my sig, I'd assume you'd be a little under my numbers

Thanks for the info guys!
I actually lost this thread bc it got moved out of the "LS1 Newbie" room and I had no idea where it went haha.

My car has recently been tuned. Sorry I forgot to mention that...When I think of mods that have been done, tuning always slips my mind.
I have also found out that the car has the optional 3.23 gears from the factory.

So I'm sitting around 330ish rwhp then huh? Man, I would really like to bump that up to the high 300's before long
