Your numbers seem about right, headers and a dyno tune should get you close to 400.

I have a similar setup. You might want to consider LG long tubes
and a 160 STAT. From most posts ive read with this setup they usually
come in at 390 to 400 hp.

HP is directly related to $$$$$$$$$......how much power depends on how deep your pockets are.........spend wisely.get all your info together before slapping down the bucks..from more than one source.......JMHO

HEADERS (LONG TUBE) AND A MILD CAM ,SHOULD DO THE TRICK. SHOULD GET YOU TO 410-430hp.

It depends on who is running the dyno for comparison I have LT headers, callaway CAI, 160 stat and catback exhaust and tune 383 rwhp. I would say 400 rwhp will be hard to come by unless you put a cam in it. With a FAST intake and a throttle body you might get closer.

Just being realistic.

I dynoed 399 rwhp 397 tq. on my 07 z51 6mt. Mods: Lg longtubes, x-pipe, Borla touring exhaust (Z06 version). Halltech stinger, and tune. I have 4500 miles on it and had to replace the tires.....because they wont hook up. Went with pilot ps2's which are great by the way. Anybody want a a full set of runflats with 75% tread PM me.
