Default Help with hp guessiment. On a lq4

Alright guys need help, buying a 99 trans am and trying to figure out how much power this set up would have. Guy saids 430 to 450 to the wheels on a mail order tune... It's a stock lq4 with prc stage 2.5 heads Vic jr intake with 43lbs injectors and nick Williams throttle body t56 new ls6 clutch and McLeod flywheel, the cam is a 323/234 598/598 on a 110lsa and the mail in tune. Do you guys think it's 450 ish to the wheels? And capable of more with a dyno tune? Thanks

Definitely capable of more with a good dyno tune. With that said it just depends on the dyno, but i think 430 or so is very doable with the right exhaust

Thanks and Yeah I'm not sure what exhaust he's running, it's between that or a 2002 camaro with a ls3 (530 to the crank)and a 100 shot.. hard to decide both seem pretty cheap t/a is only 6500 and camaro is only 8, and they are both about 2 hours from me lol

True but they are both close to the same power minus the nos... Well he said 513 to the flywheel but before he put a 102 intake and throttle body and needs a tune so guessing 530 ish which puts it right at like 460 to the wheels or something

Yep i hear ya. For me it would boil down to which one was in better overall shape from the motor to the trans to the body etc....

Yeah, the camaro is perfect body and looks like good paint, interior is maybe a 7/10 both front seats are ripped and it needs a sound system installed.. The t/a is good body and can't tell from the pics but the owner saids could use a paint, interior is a Lil better 8/10 but also needs a sound system
