Probably pretty close to my 377hp, minus 20-40hp from my headers and y-pipe.

I'd say not enough! Stock they run 305-315 RWHP, with intake and exhaust around 320-325 rwhp. See my sig.

If your going to do any serious mods I would suggest that you wait and just get the car tuned rather then try and find a chip for it. Youll get alot better results from it.

Mrbowtie, sorry for the stupid question, but what exactly do you mean by "get your car tuned?" Is there extra horsepower to be had just by a little tweeking?

LS1's cannot be chipped. They need to be retuned either by a programmer (Hypertech) or by someone with a progam that allows them to change the programming of the computer. I got a 12 rwhp and 19 rwtq gain from a good dyno tune, cost $200 the look on the dyno opperators face after the 6th run (348 RWHP and 375 RWTQ) priceless.

Sorry for being so naive on this subject, but I am getting out of motocross and getting into cars. I just bought my 2002 SS a couple of months ago and am looking to learn as much as I can so I can build it properly and still drive it daily. So when I ask this question, please don't shoot me.

Exactly what is done on a dyno tune and who is qualified to do something like this?
