Default How much power can i expect?

Just ordered some QTP LT headers, TSP true duals w/bullets, SLP lid w/smooth bellow, and im gonna do an oil change w/royal purple and put MSD wires and the NGK plugs in, what kind of power could I expect with these mods? Also the car ran a 13.6 stock, any estimates on a 1/4 with the mods plus pro5.0 w/short stick??

You will see a noticable gain in power and noise.

If you have good tires you can be in the 12s. even for bone stock, you could be in the high 12s if you have great tires.

I would say you should be around 330-340 rwhp.

Yeah my last SS ran a 12.7@108 with only closed borla and 315 555R's...

As for the power i was thinking the same, about 340ish. Thanks for the input.

I make exactly 340rwhp with basically the same boltons as you.
Except I have Pacesetter LTs, TSP ORY, Borla exhaust setup.

You should be right there

Cool, how about with a fairly aggressive cam and a good tune???
Also what is the biggest cam you would go with on a DD?

Thats going to be a sexy sounding car. Very good base mods. If you had the money I would look at gettin a good base tune with it and really see/feel the gains from the mods. I would say 340ish rwhp and 12.7s with some sticky tires would be reasonable if not conservative.

EDIT: Cam I have, Torquer 2, is a very good DD cam even with 2.73s and a 3500 stall in city traffic. Just need a good tune. I would recommend the 112 LSA for you. That cam has been pushing 400-420rwhp on cam only M6 cars. It was also pretty easy to tune it. Don't forget a clutch and rear with a cam and sticky tires though.
Complete cam kit from TSP is $750 I believe. (cam/springs(PRC duals .650 lift)/pushrods). Specs on cam are 232/234 .595/.598 113 LSA.

Hope so...that was my goal when starting the mods then it became a lil more about the power.

So how about a TSP V3?

I got it up on a dyno a couple days ago, it put down 356hp and 372tq on the first pull then 368hp and 383tq after the final tune. This was in addition to a FAST 90/90 setup. It ran a 12.4@113 last weekend before the tune and still with street tires, I'm getting some MT drag radials put on tomorrow and taking it back to the track, so better times are coming.

12's might be a stretch for you but either way its gonna sound mean. I got it to the track last night but the new tires and stock clutch were'nt playing well together so 12.4 is still my best. Spec 3 and a 9" w/4.11's coming soon.

well....idk, im not tryin to be cocky or anything but i've gotten real good at launching the car with the stock converter and tires....I actually cut a 1.99 60 with the car when it was stock but i never got any decent times cuz it felt like she fell on her face at half track...but im hoping that after the LT's and losing the cats with a tune she might wake up a bit....i've heard good things about auto's and tunes.......I don't think i'll be able to improve on the 60, well maybe but i think if i had good power all the way down the track then maybe i could break 12's....but thats a big maybe.
