?? How much HP ??

Alrighty, now that the car will be coming out soon (well atleast i hope it does) the question has resurfaced in my head about how much hp my car will have when it comes out?? Heres a list of preformance upgrades i have placed on the car: Greg Dupree Downpipes, SP High Flow Cats, Borla Cat Back, HKS SMIC's there are more upgrades but they dont affect the horsepower. I've thought about it plenty of times and i cant really come up with a number of how much hp this car will have. Soon after i get the car back i was also going to put on Intake and chip it, but should i get single or dual intake and what kinda chip would be good for this car, and maybe a little further in the future a new set of sports cams and springs.

Single intake should flow enough air until you reach the 600 hp range. I have the JWT ECU with no problems but might switch to ASHSPEC later on. With the intake, ecu and all the other mods I'm guessing around 420-30 at the crank?? Best to dyno afterwards and find out

ECU, just go ASH or JWT.

The only way to find your hp is dyno.. every car is different. But unless your tuning.. why go to a dyno in the first place. Just tell people 'it's fast'.

I like that TB. Just tell people "it's fast". I personally think to dyno is just for tuning or bragging rights, which don't mean crap. Take a 600HP car with stock tires and no work on the undercarriage and what do you have? NADA.....

Bardabe tell me you were kidding!!!!!!!!!

A stage 3 Z is usually around the 390-400 area @ 14psi correct? I figured stage 3 mods with aftermarket downpipes, high flow cats and the HKS SMICS would put him around there. I don't really know for sure, that's why I said it's best to dyno afterwards and find out.
