hey guys wondering if someone could give me an estimate on hp for a setup i have in mind. Its a stock 02 z28. Want to add, american racing headers & y pipe, borla exhaust, slp lid, ls6 intake manifold, cold air intake. could i get an estimate on that, & also another estimate for if i added those mods plus a cam like the ms3 cam. so 2 estimates: bolt on & bolt ons + cam.

Also if you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know.

You already have an LS6 intake. Bolt ons 330-360, cam 380-420

I've got an underdrive pulley and corsa exhaust, but other than that my setup is about the same as what you're looking at. I put down 345 rwhp post tune, through an automatic 2002 Z28. Are you A4 or M6?

MS3 would land you around the 400 range with full bolt-ons and a good tune behind it. Maybe a little less if you're an automatic.

With the bolt ons and ms3 I would guess 420 for an m6. If an automatic the stall will rob a decent amount of power so something like 400.

if you do all the mods , cam ,and the 102 or a 92 you'll be at 420-430.

The car should run mid to high 11's with good tires, and at full weight.

You'll need a stall 3500-3800 ,and gears with stock cubes. To run the MS3.
