I don't get it!
I have a 99 coupe with a 6 speed, a vararam b-2, Borla stingers, smooth air coupler and Bosch Platinum +4s and ran side by side with an 01 z06. If they have 385 hp, then where am I at?

You could be lucky and not have gotten a Monday car.
I feel some of the LS1's where underrated on HP. Kind of like the old 302 Camaros. At least 320 at the rear wheels

Depends who had their foot closest to the floor. If you want to get the hard facts, take it to a "speed shop" that has a dyno and let her rip!!!!

~310-315rwhp would be my guess.

I agree, maybe the other driver just wasn't as good. I've seen some pretty bad drivers screw up driving some nice cars.
Monday was referring to if it was built on a Monday then it's the day everyone is just getting back to work from the weekend and probably still have thier mind on the weekend instead of building an engine, or whatever part. You know, "having a case of the Mondays?"

I can not see getting a 40 hp gain with mufflers and cold airbox,20-30 maybe but not enough to compete with an early ZO6. If that was the case why did not GM do that on the ZO6. These aftermarket people will right any hp gains to get you to buy.

I did a Callaway Power Group 1, Honker air induction & DD exhaust, the company claims 20-25 HP, I'd say they're close. After taking off the stock air box and seeing how restrictive they are, it's hard to believe the engine got any air at all!! As far as the "duel", I'd still say you got on the Good Foot!

Depending on what you've done, like you said in your post you have some bolt ons!
Did you also install a hand held tuner?
If so you could easily be at 330 RWHP and aroud 330 RWTQ with your set-up!
You did good!
Thanks,Matt

No tune, butI was thinking about the Diablo Tuner. I don't know if it's worth it. Also thinking about getting the B&B shorties. At this point Iknow I will need a tuner.

Maybe the Z06 was a California car.............
California cars for 2000 and 2001 were about 5 hp less than the offical GM rating because of the pup converters and old single brick style rear CATs used to meet the California LEV standard for 2000.
Either that or the Z06 had the hand brake set. hahahahaha
