231/237 dyno good for mods? i just had my car tuned...the tsp 231/237 cam...i have only ls1 intake, and stock pulley's and no ported maf sensor...i have slp lt's(are they hurting me that much?), random tech cats, and corsa exhaust...stock 10 bolt and 315 zr1's....i made 375rwhp and 365rwtq...does that sound about right?...big thanks to eastside, he made the car drive much much better, and got me 45rwhp over the stock tune...he said i would be at like 400rwhp w/ a ls6 intake, and pully and better headers...do my numbers sound about right for the mods i have? btw, im in the process of building a 427 motor(finish in 1-2 years hopefully), so do u think that a set of 1 7/8" kooks or qtp's would be worse than the slps on this stock cube motor(may spray a 150 shot this comming spring)?...i'd rather not buy better 1 3/4'' for this motor and then 7/8ths again in a year for the 427 unless they would hurt me that badly...any input is greatly appreciated, cuz i see so many 400+rwhp dyno's w/ this cam(i kno all dyno's are different), i would just like to be on the same playing field, and i cant get to the track till spring/summer to see if my traps are adequate because im at school...thanks!

You're numbers sound fine too me, and I don't think you stand to gain anything from changing out your headers. Most people don't like them b/c they hang so low, not because of power issues. LS6 intake would probably get you another 15, 5-10 from a pulley and more if you don't have a ported throttle body. You have cats too, which a lot of people do not, that will cost some ponies too.

Finally got that cam done! The numbers don't look bad. The LS6 intake is a must. I've got my old painted one in the garage that I no longer need. Send me an email, and I'll help you out. Can you get offroad pipes for the SLP y? That will pick you up a few.
