Default What am I making for power?

Just curious to what I might be putting down for power. I have a 2002 ZO6 that after 4.5 years finally started to mod. I put some Borla straight pipes on and a Vararam B2 intake and carbon fiber air bridge/coupler (only mods done). I am in the middle of searching for a tuner in/near/around New England but was wondering what I should expect from this setup prior to a dyno run and tune?

I think thats a lil high, I bet its lower end of spectrum, usually with long tubes and a tune its around 385-390

IMO I dont think straight pipes are worth that much

I can only speak of what I see. Mine did 377rwhp with Halltech CAI, cat-back and tune. The are several other forum members that have made 370+rwhp with the same exact mods (CAI, catback and tune). I don't think it's far fetched at all.

Depends on what kind of dyno you are talking about.

Mine baselined at 367 on a dynojet with Blackwing, West Coast Corvettes air bridge, and LPE ported Throttle body, with the stock tune.
