300 rwhp is a bitch with bolt ons on these cars. You will have people on here saying they got 300 with a tune and cai, lol but run them and you will put 8 cars on em. 290 is very respectable, horsepower is just a number trust me. Add an o/r pipe and pulleys and you may get in the 296ish range, maybe squeeze out 300 with an aggressive tune, but not worth it imo. Dont forget these cars are 250 - 260 stock, 40 rwhp on intake and exuast is alot, people seem to forget that.

Nah the diff is minimal at best. I have a stick and dynoed 255 stock....another GT (auto) dynod 257 stock (he got tuned the same day). Every car is different. Hell you may pull 295 or so out of your mods, never know. You will have a very nice set up though no doubt.

Just out of curiousity, what did the LT's run you? Im thinking about getting some for mainly sound. The roar of LT headers is amazing, but i dunno if i want to spend $1000+ on them, lol.

RE: What number should I be looking at?
I got the Kooks LTS from Brent at Brenspeed and he gave me a pretty sweet deal .... 1100 with the cats but the cats run you a lot. But honestly with my set up and prob a lot of em out there it would be too loud without the cats because the LTs make that bitch roar...
Good question i was wondering the same thing because im getting gears and UDPs , I dynoed at 278 with cai and 93 brenspeed tune. Im hoping to get atleast close to 300 with my Long tubes and udps and a little better custom tune but who the hell knows really. People who say you can get 30 from and intake or tune and 25 to 30 from full exhaust i dont believe it. I saw somebody who claimed to get over 335 with cai tune long tubes gears delete plates and udps. So dont believe the numbers out there.
Also another note i was talking to Brent and he told me the hi flow cats that come with the kooks are so good they are only 2 to 3 hp difference than an o/r pipe , i trust brent but his job is to sell his product as well so take that with a grain of salt

Very well put. Lol i love the people who say they gained 40-50 hp from an intake and a tune, lol they are reading too many magazines. 290 rwhp is VERY respectable, i dont understand the big deal with inflating their numbers.
Lol i wish i put down only 230 hp, but was as fast as i am now. This way when i beat someone ill be like " yeah you like that 230 hp right there?!"...lol sorry off topic but oh well.
