400hp at the motor without accessories and with electric water pump is what most LS1's make on an engine stand. the SLP options dont matter as its nothing internal and exhaust doesnt matter on a stand, nor does a lid.

Yeah, its all good.
But yes, prolly 350 or so with accessories. If you notice the graph I posted also includes calculated whp.

cats- depends on where you live, and what kind of exhaust your run, if you want the car really loud or not. cats will tone things down just a bit, and take out some rasp that some cat-backs are known to have
I'm running Hooker LTs with TDs, no cats and dumped at the axle, yea its loud
I haven't come acrossed anything to prove one underdrive pulley to be better than a different one, get the one you can get a good deal one
hey what's the trader rating?????????????????????/
