I'm pretty sure thats at the fly, manufacturer power ratings usually are. The corvette L98's were slightly higher, since they got aluminum heads, and I think a slightly higher compression ratio.

you'll get near that with a good tune, full length headers, good exhaust, and a aftermarket intake setup like miniram/hsr or possibly a big tube TPI setup and 1.6 rockers, pullies, free mods, etc. electric waterpump may help too

my buddy made about 250whp with his full bolt on TPI L98, but he didnt have electric water pump. I made 254 with a lean tune on my HSR setup. no electric water pump either but i had everything else. I think i could have easily seen 260whp with a better tune

Re: how much does a stock L98 put out

well i bought summit headers i know u get what u pay for and should have save up but that would take awhile lol 7bucks an hr and part time at that lol hard times.also bought a headman y-pipe hope they fit good together..

and probably take my car to RPMs (local performances shop) and get it tune after i get the headers and stuff on.cause it is running alil rich cause of the 24lb mustang injectors which i didnt install came with the car...
