Headers and a full exhaust will get you 350 rwhp.

Those are really good numbers for just those mods. Don't get his hopes to high though. I've seen some of our LS1 brothers with those mods and only be around 320 rwhp.

i made 340 to the wheels with intake and full exhaust through an automatic. that's uncorrected and on a dynojet though. would have been 330ish corrected and 315ish on a mustang dyno.

many many factors. but yes, it's possible.

Long tubes and a tune should be all you need... depends on the dyno though

CAI, headers + full exhaust and a tune will get you there, and maybe above.

No, you'll need full boltons and a mild to large cam to hit the 400+ mark.

Headers and full exhaust will be around 350rwhp... WITH A TUNE. If you just throw headers and full exhaust on without a tune you will prob. be around 320-330rwhp
