Default 385hp

What bolt ons will be required to achieve roughly 385 flywheel horsepower from an 01/02 Z/28.

I'm about to start my search for a 6speed Z and want to stay with bolt ons only for now i think unless i need more. The car will be tuned. not sure if that'll make much difference. I'm new to LS1s

The ls1 bone stock is close or over 385 fly wheel hp. I had my car on the dyno before i started to mod and made 338 rear wheel hp, and 326 rear wheel tq. You can account for a 12-15% hp loss with a 6 speed. The 01/02 ls1 comes with the ls6 intake so a set of headers, y pipe, cat back, and air lid, would put you over the 385 fly wheel hp.

Yup, what he said

385 flywheel shouldnt be difficult with an 01/02 as long as the motor is in good condition. Hell, with a Lid, SLP Loudmouth, 3.73s, and a completely micropolished/cryo treated T56 and a dyno tune, im making 351rwhp/372rwtq.

A dyno tune is a little expensive, but i gained around 17rwhp from just that.

Well my plan was a K&N, SLP Lid/Loudmouth, tune and 4.10 gears. I wanted to be able to put down at least 325 to the wheels. Thanks guys

325 to the wheels isnt hard with a m6 and just a few bolt-ons. a lid and a cutout should do it

4.10s are the only way to go with an m6 brother. i dont mind 'em at all for a dd. traction really isnt that big of an issue, but my car is runnin like crap. im sure it will be an issue after my rebuild when i got 400+ at the wheels.
