Default Approx whp? Anyone wanna give me a ballpark?

I have a 2002 C5 coupe (LS1 car) and I plan on doing a t-stat, zip tie mod, LG long tube headers, and z06 exhaust and a tune.
What should be the ballpark I'd see on the dyno for these mods?
Thanks


*edit* - Just found out my buddy has an LS2 cam and LS2 heads for very cheap so please add these in I'd assume they'd add another 20-30whp or so

Yeah around 330, 340 would be optimistic.

Keep in mind the old saying

"Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?"

The more cash you throw at it, the faster she'll be, only reason I mention this is because those seem to be pretty inexpenive mods. Get an intake, a cam/heads, some spray and a tune and it'll be a whole different story

I'd really like to get closer to 400whp but I dunno if I wanna throw a cam in it...
I'm worried about hating the driveability of a bigger cam.

My car made 340 with headers, lid, and tune. I'm gonna say 335rwhp since the vette looses a little through the IRS.

You could throw something like a 224 XER cam in it to get closer to 400 at the wheels, and still maintain excellent drivability.

It doesn't make sense to do a cam swap and put in a stock cam. Why would you do that??? I have a 228/230 cam and if I had a better tune would be perfect for everyday use. It just stutters from 2500-2900 and is a little rich...

You gotta pay to play bro, just drop the cash on a good cam and some spray, your car will be a nasty street machine.

The cam is free... the heads are $150.
You can't buy a cam that cheap let alone heads and a cam.
So why wouldn't I swap it on?
