Fully redone intake + LT's/true duals = ? Hey everyone. After I get my car fixed and in driveable condition (very soon), I'm going to start spending money of my car the way I wanted to. Instead of jumping straight to an H/C package, I'm going bolt-ons and exhaust (thanks Fernando!). What I want to do is get an SLP lid, Green air fliter, possibly a ported MAF, smooth bellows, and a Shaner S3 throttle body. Basically, everything but an LS6 intake manifold (not yet anyway...), plus an ASP pulley. For exhaust, I'm doing either Kook's or Hooker long tube headers, Dynomax hi-flow cats, Spintech X pipe, and Spintech Sportsman mufflers, all 2.5", dumped before the axle. Eventually, I'm planning on adding a G5X2 or G5X3, and a TCI SSF3000 torque convertor, but I want to know approximately how much horsepower would I have with the new intake and exhaust? Please help. Thanks.

All those bolts ons will help you a lot, but with heads and cam your hp numbers will be much greater with the H/C's. I would say you would be right around 320-240 range depending on if you get a tune with the headers.

So for my future mods, this would be a good baseline? Next round of mods, I'm thinking a G5X2 or a TSP Torquer cam, a TCI SSF3000 torque convertor, QTP cutouts, and some suspension/handling mods.
