Default How much HP do I have?

Wanting to get a ballpark figure on how much horsepower I am getting to the fly and rear wheels. I have a 2000 coupe with vararam, LS6 intake, LG super pro longtubes, x pipe, tune, and Corsa pacecar catback.

I'd like to know too. My '99 has very similar mods but is a 6 speed. (vararam, FAST intake, LG super pro longtubes, x pipe, tune, and B&B catback).

From what I have found in similar threads, I am guessing about 400 at the flywheel.

I'd like to see what others have found too. Especially anyone that has dyno results on similar setups.

I'm guessing as anyone will be, but I'd think 380 - 390? Mufflers and x-pipe are more about sound, headers should get 20-25, tune 10-15...?

Why don't you just go dyno it? Dyno results always vary, but it'll give you a baseline, at least.
