need horsepower estimate.......

Hey all,

i just bought me a remanufactured LT-1 and im having some things done to it before i get it.....here's the deal......if i remember correctly, a stock 93' LT-1 pumps out 275 HP and 325 ft-lbs of twist......

this is what im having done to the motor:

Upgraded piston rings (no HP)
upgraded bearings (no HP)
3 angle valve job ( ? )
stepped up cam (dont know measurements assuming just more aggressive than stock)
ported / polished heads

thats basically it for the motor itself......now onto the bolt-on's i already have for the car.......

SLP 1&3/4" headers
high flow CAT
3" intermediate pipe going to spi-tech muffler with 2 1/2" outlets
K&N air filter
throttle body air foil
hypertech chip
160 deg t-stat
MSD blaster coil ( no MSD box, i know i know)
24 lb fuel injectors (stock 22 lb)

So.....thats the jist of it.......i personally think i should be pumping out in the realm of 350-380 HP.......but , hey.....what the hell do i know.....

opinions?

thanks.

Re: need horsepower estimate.......

if you are talking about power to the ground I'd guess 320rwhp/345ftlbs
Of course without knowing the cam specs, type of transmission, tuning....It's just a guess...
