Default 400hp???

Here's my setup:

SLP:
LT
ORY
Hi-Flo Cats
CME
Blackwing Lid
MAF
Bumper Ram-Air

K&N:
Filter

Modded TB-everything except epoxy
TB Bypass
NGK TR-55 Plugs-gapped at .60"
Tuned-Torque Management delete/air-fuel mix/power enrichment/timing just about everything!

It is an 02, so it has the LS6 Intake!

What kind of horsepower do you guys think I'm amking? Motor/Rear Wheels

Do you guys think I could get to 400hp without getting into the motor?
I was thinking of doing an UD pulley and MSD Spark Wires. What pulley would be good? reliable, durable, doesn't throw belts, make good power, etc.

sounds like you'll be short of 400whp. a pulley would be good for another 10 or so. i like my powerbond/slp underdrive. i would say like 350-360ish at the wheels. most people with over 400whp are h/c setups, but i have heard its possible with just bolt ons.

Just dynoed mine today. It was 326/336

Lid, smooth bellow, ported tb, ls6 mani, long tubes, full exhaust and mail order tune. I doubt you are going to get 400 without a cam or heads

365ish to the wheels is about the best you'll get with all boltons. so that's roughly 400 fly wheel hp

i think it just depends on the dyno you choose. a dyno jet maybe close to 400. a mustang dyno very doubtfull.

You don't need h/c to reach 400RWHP. It's pretty easily done with just a cam swap. With all the bolt ons 350RWHP isn't unheard of by any means. Good luck!

Also, considering you have an A4 you are going to be putting down less than the M6 guys. So when you do a search and see some of the numbers for bolt on power, pay attention to weather on not the guys are M6 or A4. Dont want you to get discouraged if you dont put down the same as am M6 guy

I dynoed at 350/350 with mods in sig. Now I added an LS6 intake, should pick up a few more, but no where near 400. For 400rwhp you are gonna need a cam at least.

400 to the flywheel is very obtainable on these cars, which equates to 350-340ish rwhp.

My last setup was the TSP 233/239 with all bolt-ons (except electric waterpump) and 90/90 setup for 427RWHP
