I dont think you are going to get any more HP with this setup Most Vettes put down 330 to 360 HP with these boltons.The car is not loud driving it normally.

357 hp would be the high end for these mods.

I bought a set of used Kooks, high flow cats and an X pipe from a forum member. Chriswtx and I are installing them on Friday. The stock cats were a problem when I got my car dyno tuned. I may have made 440 rwhp with this set up.
