power wise...320-330 maybe, you don't need a custom pcm, just get your car tuned...you might want to pick up a ls6 intake and ftra intake to get a better hp/torque number...you could run anything from 13's to high 12's with practice, lots of practice...invest in getting a stall as well if you plan on racing it

yeah i agree. stall is a must. but make sure you get a tranny cooler with that stall.

300-320rwhp. With a tune should run high 12's. You need the shift points adjusted.
