The thought of knowing you won lol

I'd say 440-450 would be about right.

Almost the same set-up as me.

If he already has LT headers and an exhaust I'll say 425 rwhp. If not, I'll say 400.

Before! there are quite a few guys I know who have auto's with no fast intake pushing 420-430... I would think at least 450 but I might be off on this one. Whoever is closer gets a prize.. What the prize is only time will tell!

hmm. through a stalled auto. if it were M6 i'd give it 450-460. that's one reason i don't like dynos. lol auto guys always lose in HP battles. oh well it's all about how they move i guess.

Wow my auto with just lid, lt's, 85mm maf, ported tb put down 329. I would think the cam is worth at least 50 along with the heads would be at least 50 and the fast about 20? Thats pretty crazy all that stuff is only going to gain him 80 more to the ground.

No one said anything about a stock converter.... A stall isn't going to add any power..

Wow. I hope you're being sarcastic because stalls effect dynographs a lot...
