Default guesstimate my hp and torque???

OK, sorry I've posted so many time already today guys, guess I'm a little post happy, this is my last q. Anyway, can anyone give me a rough estimate as to what kind of hp (rw or crank specify) and torque the set up in my sig will make, given little parts here and there added in or taken out. :confused:

hmm iam no expert on this one....and hope others will correct me if Iam wrong...but I would guess somewhere around 350-400 hp and something like 375-400 trq.

this sound about right guys?

by the way BowTieBlood....why the LT1 conversion....isn't it cheaper to buy a LT4 car?.....again I dont' know the exact numbers.....but just figured it would be cheaper to buy and LT4 and modify it....

keep it real

Hmm, the kit is like $2k but including some things (from what I'm told) that are a little better than the stock LT4, you might be right though, I've never seen an LT4 go for only that much more around here at least.

A higher stall torque conveter and different gears don't do anything to your horsepower or torque.. you can just feel the power you have more.. and use it in a better way....

exhuast probalby good for 20-25 ... computer 5-10 ... 58mm TB 2-5 ...

LT4 conversion by itself would have you at 340-350.. so just add up the other things.. and I'd say:

i'd say 380hp and 410 tq .. (fly wheel).
