thanks for the imput!! Im getting my vette tuned next month and just looking for what to expect. Im getting my mufflers straight piped with a corsa off road x pipe and a K&n cold air intake. My tuner said he could shoot for high 300s MAYBE 400.

thats a very high goal for those parts on a ls2, do you have headers? straight piping the mufflers wont really gain you any power and the K&N isnt worth much either. different dynos read different numbers and unfortunately tuners can fudge the numbers as well but i would think with what you have 370 would be tops.
