I think you are close. With a good tune it could be a little more.

I've seen 4 LT1s with the LT4 conversion kit and hotcam dyno about 355rwhp with the M6 (tuned). With the XE 224/230 and 1.6s i'll step out on a limb here and say you'll get close to 365rwhp with a tune. If not 370 since there are quite a few members on here getting about 340rwhp with that cam on stock LT1 heads. The LT4 heads really are worth about 30rwhp over the stockers with a fatter torque curve in the higher rpms due to the larger ports.

Why spend all that money and use a flowmaster muffler?

The flowmaster has been on my car since I first got it. What's wrong with the flowmaster? What should I go with?

Too loud and doesn't flow as good as what else is out there. Get a hooker aeroflow. Great sound and not that loudness the flowmaster has.

It is so negligible it doesn't even matter. Go with what you like the sound of.

Thumbs up

Yea I agree, its what you like and not what everyone else does. I didnt mean to enforce that the aeroflow was better or anything. I find flow masters way too loud for my taste but if he likes em .
