Gains expected
hey guys I'm currently doing a build on my 98 vette Im putting an LG Executive cam kit, 92mm FAST intake, LS6 Heads, long tube 1 7/8 headers, C5 Z06 H pipe, with magnaflow cat back exhaust. I was wondering what kind of power gains I could or should see out of this set up.
thanks

If you didn't look into this info before you picked the above parts I would be surprised.
Without the cam you should see 330-350whp... post the specs of the cam and we'll tell you where you can expect to be... likely slightly above or below 400whp.

I have a 98 as well. The stock motor is factory rated at 350hp (that's at the crank). The dyno will show you that at the rear wheels, you have about 290-300 rwhp (due to drive train loss - auto loses more than a manual). With the components you're showing, you be somewhere around 450-475hp at the crank and about 385-410rwhp. The reasons for the variance is due to the previously stated issue of cam specs we don't know. Also, dynos can vary from unit to unit. Suffice to say, you'll be somewhere near 400rwhp when done and you WILL notice the difference.
