If those headers are Long Tubes I would say that you will put out atleast 300rwhp with a motor that is in good condition. I had a buddy put down 310rwhp with only LT's w/true duals and a CAI.

So somewhere between 280-300 you guys think this is enough to handle a stock 2000 SS?

Well, it depends on traction, and how much of a freak the LS1 is. I have seen bone stock LS1's run from 13.8's to 13.0's, so it really is hard to say. It should be close though.

With CAI, pulley, and cutout, I put down 260 hp and 295 tq. I did have some ignition probs up topand was running rich, so it should be more now that I fixed it.

Re: How much rwhp with all bolt ons?

Are you an A4 or M6?

A M6 with headers, catback, CAI and pulleys should put down around 290-300 rwhp.

I put down the numbers in my sig with headers, catback and CAI.

With the mods you mention, it will be a drivers race with the 2000 SS, but I would still give the LS1 a slight advantage. It depends on a few things, is he a A4 or M6, and are you an A4 or a M6.

Re: How much rwhp with all bolt ons?

I agree, as an old man I do enjoy dyno racing. Some day I will
head out to LACR and embarass myself. But until then, I was at 293 rwhp
(SAE) with bolt-ons and stock cast iron exhaust manifolds. It's a bit
misleading when I say cast iron manifolds because I have a pretty nice
exhaust system to make them the best they can be. What the heck, it's
only money right.

I was taking you quite seriously, and agree. No smart @ss here.
