In the new Hot Rod mag they said that with a GOOD tune and headers they used KOOKS and a set of flowmasters they got 403 HP and 436 LB-FT

I saw a sss with pacesetter lt's tsp 228r, and tune hit 400/400. its very doable. but dont worry about numbers as much as track times. unless you got deep pockets and can afford dyno pulls every time you put parts on. good luck with it.

Of course, that's flywheel HP, not at the wheel.

Here's a link for that article

I don't understand why anyone would have a problem putting 400 to the wheels with a 6.0
Guys have been putting down 400 with H/C packages all day long with their LT1 Fbodys.
