new mods and a dyno tune?
i picked up a used c5 about two months ago stock except for a varaam cai. i had kooks long tubes and corsa indy exhaust installed, sound is awesome. i dropped the car off at vette doctors for a tune up and 4.10 gears, they will dyno tune the car for me on tuesday. what kind of rwhp do you guys think i will get ? first time at vette doctors and i am impressed with shop and with carmen and dennis, the place is super clean and packed with some cool looking vettes.

A friend of mine with similar mods put down 352 rwhp and 358 tq. He has stock gearing though. His torque curve didn't show up on this scanned image.

361 HP and 341 rwt is my guess
Your performance will be better with the car moving on the road because the vararam needs air pushed into it.
The fan on the dyno just can't push enough air to maximize the performance of a vararam vs. the car going down the road 50 mph+
