400+ RWHP in 2007 C6 M how? Stock HP?
Hey guys I was just wondering of types of simple bolt ons and cheap I'm only 17 and can't afford to much I have gutted my cats and have a muffler delete but I was wondering if a cold air intake Varraram and a thermostat and a tune I saw many people get 400 rear hp with these mods is there any other kid I can do preferably cheap to get to about the same rear hp as a Z06 and what's the stock Rear Hp on a 2007 c6 corvette manual thanks guys all info will help.

To get to Z06 level I would add: Z06 exhaust and mild cam with smooth idle, so not to be detected by emissions testing. Car will need to be re-tuned. That will get you close. The other option, which is more expensive, a CARB certified supercharger, i.e. A&A kit. However, at 17 yrs. old I do not recommend this route even if you had the money.
As far as RWHP, I agree with "napp e roots" 350 - 360 RWHP.

Living in CA, I would not of gutted the cats because of emissions inspection. They don't do the sniffer test here, but the smell will be a give away. Gutting the cats will gain you only a few HP and not worth the risk of major fines and failing emissions testing.

Cams are expensive for someone to install I was looking into doing it my self but maybe I'll wait and Ik about the gutted cat I have my ways
thanks

400 rwhp with a cheap budget will be hard to get. Run name brand headers, vararam and a tune. That will get you close. Remember a vararam will not show any horsepower on the dyno. The vararam is one of the best intakes. The fastest C5 and C6's non FI run vararam.

17% parasetic loss is pretty normal. A ls2 corvette likely puts somewhere closer to 330~340 to the tire. (source: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...q-for-ls2.html) In order to get 70HP at the tires on the dyno you are going to need headers, cam, and a tune.
Also, every dyno is different, calibration, weather, SAE vs STD corrected numbers, etc. will all play a factor in what a dyno reads.
Finally, why is your thread name CammedC6 if all you have is gutted cats & no mufflers (does that even sound good? Loud isn't good, loud is just loud)

If your looking to run with a stock Z06....you will need to be around 475-480 whp as the ls7 puts down some nasty torque. The car Z is about 300lbs lighter as well...lighter is faster in most equally powered comparisons. Not sure of your budget,but If you could swing LT headers and tune....that would be your best bet.GL
