My guessestimate is about 230 RWHP. Reason: no major power adders to get over the stock rating of 285 HP at flywheel.

I don't want to 'toot the lt1 horn', or anything, but I'd say you'd be able to safely guess 240-245 for an auto, and 250-255 for a t56.

I've done way too much research into what bone stock lt1s dyno to ever say a well running lt1 would dyno below 230 whp. Autos typically dyno 230-235 and mannys about 240-245.

A catback/ORY is worth 5-7 horses, AC delete will get you 2 or 3, and a tune to pull it all together will get you (at least) another 5. badaboom, badabing you've got 245-255 rwhp.

hmmm....I don't think they could get 20 whp out of a car that's totally stock, but with a few mods like you've got, it could be possible. I wouldn't bank on it if I were you though. If it were me, I'd tell people it puts down about 245 horses, and if it's a little low then you just surprise people with how well it runs.
