SOUNDS like 600 hp!!
I say if you like it and you are ok with the volume go for it. Mine is stock with bolt ons only. Tune in future. I dont “need” and dont always use all 400hp - but when I want it it’s awesome to have!! Yours would be a head turner!!

It will be fun while it lasts, but what will it cost to keep it alive and on the road and for how long ?

Totally street drive-able. I would validate the age of the valve-springs - if they have over 15k on them I would want to check them and validate the spring pressure. Service life of a spring like that is probably 20-25k depending on use, and you don't wanna find out the hard way it's due...

I DD my 5th gen and take it on long road trips. No problems whatsoever! Makes driving fun even if I only get 16mpg avg. Smiles per gallon is what really matters. You only get one life, enjoy everything you do!

I like the thinking of the OP. It makes the car sound more powerful when claiming crank HP. My measly 442 rwhp just turned in to 515!

With those listed mods the car is certainly streetable but you will need to learn to drive again, especially in parking lots. Like others have said, check maintence and springs.

All things considered....I found another car and bought it. After looking at 2 other heavily modified cars, I settled for a 2011 SS RS that is almost mint condition. It only has the Jannetty Racing 435rwhp kit and program and full exhaust (ceramic long tubes, cat delete, and Borla S Type mufflers). This car has only 49k miles. It is absolutely beautiful and came from a great home. Thx for all your recommendations!

It's also been lowered 1 1/4" and 2k miles ago had new wheels and tires... 325' and 305's. Drove it home 3.5 hours, 22mpg and rode like a dream. Very happy
