Need help with estimation of power

I need it is hard to speculate what kind of pwer you will have, but i am trying.

I have a short list of things i am about to do to my 30thz.

The car currently has a hooker catback, i will be installing slp headers, lt4 hotcam, 1.6 rr, a cai, and a madz28 tune.

I am shooting for low 13's with this combo. Along with the mods, i am doing a full tuneup, and changing the opti(its about dead )

Am i being to hopeful? Are those mods enough to put 300 or so to the wheels?

thanks

p.s. its a 6 speed also.

I would say 300RWHP is very possible. Maybe even 310-320 on a good day. You should be running mid-low 13's with that combo if you have traction. That's pretty much the combo I have, and it runs great. I've never had it dynoed, but I've heard that a full bolt-on LT-1 with a hotcam can touch 330 RWHP.

I would say 310-320 RWHP is possible, but I think you will run faster than mid 13s with a M6. With DRs you could be in the mid 12s.

Re: Need help with estimation of power

If you're replacing your opti anyway you might want to look at the setup that they're having a GP on right now (delteq?) to get rid of the opti for good. Not sure if there are any performance gains but i hear alot of good things about them.
