Hi 500HP99 -
What do you have? A real impatient streak, for one!
It sometimes takes longer than 7 minutes to garner a response from the forum.....
I guess around 370-390rwhp with those mods - depending on the quality of the tune.
With the rear gearing and converter, it should launch pretty well!
best regards -

I doubt that anyone can really give you a good estimate from just from a list of items....ESPECIALLY if you never had it dynotuned.
No matter what its putting out right now...you will probably get A LOT more after having it tuned.

Sorry about the impatience.
I just got the car back from the shop and they did a complete tune after the cam, rockers, springs, pullies, therm, and oil pump was put in. I thought for sure she would be over 400 hp with the cam.

Hi 500HP99 -
No worries!
I have a friend who has heads and cam on a newer C5 coupe and he was at around 430rwhp - so I was subtracing for the heads.
Mine is just a guess, so I may be low.
I remember that it was very hard to get a C5 to 400rwhp without doing heads, but I am not the expert in that field lol....
My numbers represent the high end of a stock 02-04 Z06 rwhp, so that is pretty good gains for a car that started with around 300 rwhp.

With all of those mods and a good tune you should be around 400rwhp. Thats just a guess now so dont think that is what you will get. You could get more, or you could get less. Not all Corvettes dyno the same.
