Re: 400 crank hp...how easy? (BowTieBlood)
See my sig. Latest round of mods put me a little over 400hp at the crank (given the 15% drivetrain loss) Keep in mind that my car came with the LS6 intake. :cheers:

Crank hp doesn't matter. Go by rwhp. You can get to the 350rwhp mark fairly easily :cheers:

Re: 400 crank hp...how easy? (BowTieBlood)
15% is the ballpark parasitic loss associated with the 6-speeds-- it's about 20% for auto's--
you need 340 RWHP to reach your goal-- Flywheel is irellevant to everyone exept people who know absolutely nothing about cars-- and the car magazines that cater to them:rolleyes:
If you're stock, you're prolly around 295-300RW now--
invest in an LS6 intake manifold, an air intake such as the Vortex or Blackwing, LT headers, and an aftermarket exhaust-- that should put you about where you want to be. :cheers:
