Black on Black- 2000 Trans Am M6
Performance parts = horsepower
If I was't to install
1. Flowmaster catback
2. Long tube headers
3. y pipe
4. LS6 Intake
5. 80mm Throttle body
6. 85mm MAF sensor
7. Lid
8. 3.73 gears
What kind of horsepower gains am I looking at?

scratch #1 & #6 off your list......go with a Hooker CB or Magnaflow CB and keep your stock MAF

Ditch the Flowmaster, it may sound ok but it is one of the worst flowing catbacks. Keep the stock MAF and I would just have the stock T.B port/polished.

Know one has answered my question about the power gains. I dont care if the flowmaster sucks to anyone, I would not trade the sound for the power.

No need to get testy with the attitude. You ask about performance parts and hp gains and when we tell you Flowmaster won't give you gains you 180 and say I wouldn't trade the sound for power....well which one is it? Gains? or sound? We were just trying to steer you in the right direction for power gains which Flowmaster doesn't give a whole hell of alot of, if you wantt the Flowmaster cackle that's fine.

anyways expect 7 rwhp from the flowmaster, about 30 from the headers, 10 from the ls6 intake, port the throttle body instead of getting a new one=about 7 rwhp,stay away from an aftermarket maf, lid=10 rwhp and gears=nothing.2000 nhra edition formula
a few bolt ons, 379 rwhp

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
340-350 RWHP.
Which is 35-45 over stock.
Like the others have mentioned....Ditch the Flows. In my opinion, the Magnaflow sounds better and it is a fact it flows better.
Stick with the stock MAF. Aftermarket ones have actually seen power declines, unless tuned for it.
With two mods (SLP Loudmouth, SLP lid) I dyno'd 320/333.
Add SLP 85mm MAF (mistake), SLP LT's (also mistake), LS6 intake I dyno'd 343/358.2008 Trailblazer SS
Yank PTB3600, Kooks 1 7/8" LT's, 4" intake, E-fans, Magnaflow, Sonnax kit, tranny cooler, tune.
Lowered, HID's, tinted.

I'm not trying to be a smart elek, I just love the sound. On Horsepower TV on Spike TV every car they work on they almost always put a flowmaster on it, so I figured it was pretty good. Any ways I'm not going to be running it at the track, I just want it to be the meanest sounding and performing car in my town. So everyone will think twice before messing with it.

I'm going to say roughly a 40hp increase. I would highly recommend getting the stock TB ported and to keep the stock MAF. Are you an auto or 6 speed? If you're an auto, I also highly recommend a torque converter. Just my .02

Wouldn't need it.
But you would get the most out of them with a good tune.
