Well, with the new Vossen 19s and 20s wheels and Mich PSS tire changes along with the additions above and new plugs and wires I made 410 rwhp on dynotune. I am happy from where I was with CAI and NPP to the new power and awesome exhaust sound.

After a tune it came out to 388 RWHP...

does this sound a bit low to anyone else? i was hoping for at least 400

2005 C6 Here. Added Cooks Headers, Comp 620" Cam, Varam Cold Air Intake, High Flo-Cats and Tuned to a RWHP of 407. You are about right with mods and HP. Good luck.

What kind of dyno were you tuned on? Keep in mind Mustang dynos and Dynojets will net different numbers. Dyno jets read higher numbers.

Also, realize that not every Vette is the same, and two identical cars with two identical sets of mods will still produce different numbers.

Focus on the overall gains you picked up from the mods and not what the next guy's car laid down for numbers.
