anywhere from 290-325 is my best guess.

the only way to TRULY tell HP is by having a known and tested SAE break HP rated engine calibrate the dyno right before strapping your car in. Otherwise the 1-2% error in the whole dyno system will end up making your numbers off by as much as 10hp, plus they are all different by a few HP. MY old LS1 would stomp other stock LS's by a car length or two, idk maybe I drive better. get some headers and wake that beast up. I would consider LT headers to be the most essential mod on these cars as far as bang for your buck. all your mods are worth a few MORE HP if the engine can breathe better.

Hard to guess since dyno's vary so much.

I guestimate might be in the 315-325 range with the tune (on the high side). Dyno's vary so much tho, its really hard to tell. Plus, if its a mustang dyno (load bearing) it might be around 10% less than a dynojet.

really, depending on correction factor, the type of dyno, whether you have a "good one" or an "bad one"; it might be anywhere from 290-330. lol. Its just a number.

Run it at the track, and see what it runs. Thats the true tale. although, lowered with 19's it'll likely be slow there, no matter how much power it makes.

When I was running simular traps and ets with my 2000 I had dynoed 314 at the wheels on a dynojet thru an open torque converter.

Added a Yank ST3500, touched up the shift points and ran consistant 12.2xs with a best of 12.15 without changing anything else.

I'll guess around 310-320 or so. Nice job for a 99 with an LS1 intake. Most of the time the 01+ LS1s with full bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, headers) can make upwards of 330-340rwhp on the dyno (closer to 320-330 with an auto and more like 330-340 for a 6-speed).

My guess is about 305-315 RWHP and your time and trap is really good.
