Default Guestimate my HP w/ mods

I already have 1 3/4 long tube headers w/ 30in primaries, dual 2.5" exhaust w/ X pipe and twin Borla Xr1's, ls6 intake, custom CAI, ported stock TB, 224/224 .575/.575 112 lobe seperation cam, FFHP ported heads, and chip tuner mail order tune for said setup.

What kind of rwhp will this put down? Should I be over 400whp?

Thanks!

For those saying to just dyno it, I eventually will when I get it up and running. Like most though I am impatient and want to have an idea now

only drawback I noticed was the mail order tune, might be able to squeeze a few more ponies out of your setup with a real dyno tune...but I know the good tuning shops are few and far between and might not have one in your area so hopefully the mail order tune is pretty spot on.

Are you a M6 or A4? That might help determine due to loss of drivetrain if that is the case, but for fun.

M6: 405 rwhp
A4: 380-390 rwhp

I would say anywhere between 400 to 424.9999999999995678 RWHP.

Correct T56

I have plans eventually to buy HP tuners or whatever the flavor of the month is in terms of PCM tuning. The FD conversion is a good bit on the expensive side though and I'm running dry. Plus the mail order tune was included with the engine pullout I bought from FFHP

Yeah I hear the run dry portion of that. I was considering the LS1/T56 build for a 93 as well. If you want a lot more info on the conversion I know for a fact that www.torquecentral.com has lots of really really good information. It is mainly what keeps that site alive from all the FC/FD guys. you should check it out.
