No, the front wheels make zero horsepower.

350 to the rear? Possibly, depends on what kind of dyno, etc.

fwhp = Flywheel Horse Power

Sorry, jumped the gun on that one.

Going from 312 to 350...maybe with intake, exhaust, and a good tune.

What would happen with a moderate cam? I know head work on these motors are expensive because of direct injection.

Dunno about that one buddy...I am sure a cam would help in normal situations, but does anyone offer a cam for that engine yet? I haven't looked so I am unsure.

What about a turbo? STS is making one for the V6 Camaro!

You'll definitely want headers to get you there.
Stainless Works, offers 1-5/8" and 1-3/4" long tube headers w/cats or off-road pipes for the V6.
ARH, also has 1-3/4" headers w/cats or off-road pipes.
The down side, they'll run you $1100 to $1300 w/cats..

Their V6 kits are new, price probably around $5000, for 150hp at the crank.

I guess thats pretty average for a turbo kit... Hmmm... a base model LT starts at $25k... no options period - add $5k and you're at $30k ...the SS starts at like $33k... sooo is the $3k difference worth it for a similarly optioned vehicle?

I can tell you that my V6 turbo is running great. Have not had it dyno'd yet but I have a friend that put down 354 at the wheels at 5 psi on the STS kit. I am looking to go 7psi and hopefully get 400 rwhp.

A cam?!?! It's a DOHC engine, so you'd need 4. If anyone out there makes cams for this engine, I doubt it is worth the cost.

BBK has long tube headers that make some impressive HP gains. They claim 33 Hp at the wheels.

"Claim" is the operative word.
