Hey everyone, sorry I've been MIA (I've had to help close the store I work in) but I very recently brought my new 2000 WS6 to my mechanic. We checked everything out and the car is just about perfect all around. And only 41k original miles. We also discovered these mods:
K&N CAI
SLP Lid
LT Headers
Y-Pipe exhaust
So he says we'd be optimistic but depending on if the car is tuned, I may make up to 360hp at the wheels. What do you guys think is realistic?
P.S. I hope this is in the right section.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Bonus: you guys think I could beat an 05 mustang GT with like CAI and exhaust?

OK, first off it ISN'T possible to have both a K&N CAI (cold air intake) and an SLP LID, however you can have a K&N AIR FILTER and an SLP lid.

but no I doubt without a tune or even with one the odds of putting 360hp at the wheels, but I'm no expert on the LS1, just from what I recall seeing you need a CAM and a tune to reach those numbers.

Mustangs, particularly from those generations have crappy motors so yeah.

Get some pictures of the car on here and we'll give you a good once over of what we see as having been done.

You're probably putting 320-330 to the wheels, no way will it be 360. Yeah, should walk all over an 05 GT.

X2...360 to the wheels is not going to happen with those mods.

Thanks for the input. I'm still happy with the result of finding out I'm not stock. Heads and Cam are definitely next on my list. And I have 2 pics of the car on my page, I was gonna put more but I thought we aren't supposed to expose plate numbers?

If you trust us you can post pictures of your plate...I would guess you will dyno at 345 hp at the wheels. Good luck!

if your on windows 7 then you can open jpeg (pictures) in paint and use the eraser tool to remove your tag number.

Thanks Nathan and Daniel! And to anyone still seeing this thread...I know I'm doing heads and cam, but should I upgrade to the LS6 intake as well?

Nathan C

An LS6 manifold should add about 15 horsepower. I'd say it's a good upgrade.

Thanks again Nathan. We finally decided to fit my budget we are going to build the engine as such:
Cam/valve spring kit
Ported oil pump
Double roller timing chain
New gasket bolts and fluids
Retune of pcm
