It could be a little less (or even a tiny bit more) in some cases but that is the general range.

And Cartek Racing is a VERY solid choice for doing the install/tuning,
More imprtantly than the dyno numbers are the track proven perfromance gains derived from a properly executed/properly tuned bolt on car such as this Cartek LS3 here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...track-day.html

I can tell you that just with vararam intake, vmax throttle body, and exhaust (I had non-npp before), I felt a noticeable difference, and the rears break loose much easier. Might want to try these simple mods before doing the longtubes and tune and getting a bit more "serious." Just my .02
