Realistic Horsepower guess?
Realistic Horsepower guess? Im new to this forum.. and new to the LS world. Basically, I am on a budget build due to the fact im hunting for a house soon.. so I need some ideas of current power/ cheap ways to maximize the parts I have.. here is a list of what I have already.
LQ4
M6
LS6 Cam, Valve springs, and pushrods
LS6 intake manifold (picking one up next week)
317 heads (debating on having them worked a bit, currently have LS1 heads on the side as well)
SLP Lid, SLP Long tubes, SLP Y-pipe, SLP catback.
picking up 4:10 gears from my shop
LS2 timing chain
LS6 oil pump
If it matters at all, Im looking to do a turbo next summer. (rear mount)
What kind of numbers with a good tune are possible?
What kind of numbers can I realistically pull with some more small mods? What small mods would I need?
Thanks a ton.. coming from a Ford Lightning and Mustang owner.

Off hand id say around 370.
A bolt-on LS2 with 10.9 comp ratio is good for 370-380 through a manual. This LQ4 with it's 9.x comp ratio and 4.10 gears will probably put somewhere around 350 or so.
If I have the heads ported, would I come close to the 400 horse mark? We are talking wheel horse.. Right? I'm looking for 450 crank. Eventually I'm going to turbo or spray it. Have a good deal on a 125 shot and the guy ran stock motor with 125 shot for a season on a stock ls1 and ran 11s
