    They come stock with 1.6's.

    I am still on the stock manifolds, anything I did internal to the motor would be at about 50% effectiveness until I get that exhaust opened up. This is my daily driver.... its slow as piss and I don't even like racing it. It just so happens its been making a fool out of people lately and that to me is more fun than busting someones ass in my camaro. People expect my camaro to be fast... they don't expect the GTO to leave their super charged 400+ rwhp Cobra in the dust.
    rockers will get you very close to a .600 lift. and just because you have a bottle neck in your header or exhaust or whatever. doesnt mean your not going to gain power. your not going to gain the most that you can but if sure you gain more that 5-10whp. a cheater car is ment to look and sound stock aka you. so every little thing you can do puts you that far ahead.

    yeah and someone said YOU had 100hp more. so a ls1 c5 puts what low 3XXs down +100 that would be your in the 400s...? care to explain.

    He was referring to Crank HP.

    The Vette was stock at 350 HP at the crank.

    My gto makes about 440 - 450 at the crank, assuming 16-17% drivetrain loss which equates to my 371 RWHP.

    It's 400 stock at the crank. With the intake exhaust / tune its now at about 440. Reading comprehension FTW.
