i would guess anywhere from 360-370 depending auto or m6 on a dynojet. would be better if you bought a ls6 intake... then its a factory piece and shouldnt raise any questions at all. You may want to ask around but im not sure if the shorty headers are really worth the money... If you had ported heads with longtube headers the norm seems to be around 400-420. Not having long tube headers will hurt you, but i know your in cali...

Through a stock exhaust and welded in flowmaster (supposedly is no better then stock) and only a baseline tune my car put down 350 through an auto on a mustang dyno, which reads low. that was with mods in sig.

Pretty similar to my mods (in sig). I have 243's (off ebay), milled 0.015. I got 392hp on a dynojet. Blue plot is all the bolt on's. Red plot is with 243's & TR224.
