Default Gains from intake/header/pulley change on a 408....

I was hoping you guys could give me rough idea of the possible gains with the following setup....

Basics: 11:1 CR 408 using TEA Stage III cylinder heads (flow 318 @ .600 lift on the intake w/ excellent midlift numbers) w/ Comp XER grind 242/248 .608/.612 112 lsa. The car put down 488rwhp/481rwtq with the stock LS6 intake, 1 3/4 headers, & no underdrive pulley. This was thru a 12 bolt and steel driveshaft.

Obviously, I'm just looking for an estimate here....How much power could be gained by adding a 90/90 combo, 1 7/8 headers, and an ASP pulley, all tuned up for the new mods?

Would more power come from the header swap or adding the 90/90? After reading the other current thread about 1 3/4 vs 1 7/8 headers, it might not even be worth swapping them out....

You should be well over 500rwhp if you add all those mods and get it tuned accordingly. Probably around 520. IMO....do it man..do it!

Definitely more power in the intake swap.
