Default How much Hp do these mods give you?

On a 2000 C5 FRC what do these exact mods give you please ?
Kooks headers , X pipe, Titanium Exhaust, Black wing intake, LS6 intake manifold, MGW shifter( nothing I guess on this one) ,Tune!! the Car has the Z06 rear (not sure why the guy before me had changed it since its the same ratio!!).

And how about if it had a Lingenfelter Cam on top all of this ?( with and without)
just want to know what am I looking for approx. HP numbers as to I have some more upgrades in mind !

Thanks guys !

The numbers that you will estimate will be about 1/2 as much
in reality.

Before cam I had-LG headers, BB catback, vararam intake, LS6 intake manifold, and an LS7 clutch installed in my 99. It was then street tuned and Speed Inc stated approx 360 rwhp. Now I had then cam my car with stock heads and put down 393 rwhp. Hope that helped.

My guess is 35-40 hp. Only way to really know is to dyno the car.

They probably changed to a z06 rear to go to a three rib diff.

Car has around 300 hp @ the wheels stock, those mods probably added 40 if the tune is good, add 15 for the cam.

Thanks guys, any way I can tell if It has a Lingenfelter Cam ? the previous owner told me it has a Lingenfelter Cam but I guess there is no way to ever find out if it is there?

My stock Z06 dyno'ed @ 360 rwph, and when LG cam/intake/exhaust/tune was done it dynoed @ 421. So I gained 61 rwhp from those upgrades. I would guess seeing as yours was a base model you'd probably see ~350 rwhp.

So this is what I add, Most of us have been down the road you are going on. Nickle and diming your way up the horsepower ladder. Spending a little here, spending a lot there, but only enough to make you happy for a short time before you want more horsepower. Never giving you enough of what you might really crave, jaw dropping massive acceleration you dream of.

I'm going to tell you what others before TOLD ME asking that same question you have. Of course I didn't listen and decided to spend the next year or two adding bolt-ons chasing the next 20 hp add. GO SUPERCHARGER!
