Default Guestimate my power....

99 c5 with buncha cheap mods

cut hole in radiator shroud for fresh air, cut hole in airbox for more flow ( slightly larger than the 02 ZO6 hole), K and N air filter, stock "air bridge", high flow coupler, ported stock TB, TB bypass, LS6 intake manifold, B & B rear exhuast. How much am i making at the crank?

I've read about getting longer ZO6 valves with the 02 ZO6 cam. How much are they and whats the reason? Will i need new valve springs even if i keep the stock 6K redline?

15HP with all that? 345 stock.... 360 after almost full intake upgrades and exhaust??? 15HP with all those upgrades?

I figured 370ish atleast.... Was hoping closer to 385. Is the cam holding me back or something?

As far as intake upgrades...3-5 hp... maybe...
Exhaust... about the same- if its just the muffler, thats a sound upgrade you are still restricted by everything forward-
The ported TB is whats making your biggest difference-

Yeah it really brought my **** to life! I thought it was because the added velocity into the ZO6 manifold really made an awsome combination. How much with an x pipe, 02 ZO6 cam, and tune?

Guess a little bit of horsepower goes a long way when your car is lighter than most.... : D
