Default What Kind of rwhp should I expect?

Well I'm bored, and I know people ask these questions all the time but just for giggles what kinda rwhp could I expect from these mods?
1998 m6 b4c (so it's 3.72 rear i believe)

lid
slp ram air (its a metal chute that goes in front of radiator to duct up)
ls6 heads
ls6 intake
!EGR !AIR
and this cam Comp 238/240 .605/.609 112 XER (which is said to bring most cars to over 400rwhp on a completely stock ls1)

So would 440rwhp be possible? that's where about I'm guessing

ya I'm no expert either. But judging if I indeed got 400rwhp from just the cam, the heads and intake should be another 30 or so, so it seems feasible to me but wanted more opinions or people with similar setups, but 410 I would be happy with too!

I don't see any exhaust work. You will need that for sure.

There is no 3.72 rear for these cars. Assuming you didn't touch your gears, you have 3.42's in the rear. For all intents and purposes, B4C's are nothing better than any other F-body.

you will get nowhere close to 440 without headers. the car will make power with the cam but then it won't be able to get all the exhaust out. my friend did similar mods and he saw around 405 rwhp, and thats with full exhaust and no ls6 heads.

yeah if you dont have any exhaust work your going to be choking up that car. Let it breathe and get a full exhaust (headers,y-pipe,catback) and with a good tune i could see anywhere from 420RWHP

you say you think you're at 400rwhp?

i'm gonna assume you have exhaust...but even WITH it you won't make that much power on an ls1 intake.

bolt ons, ls6 intake, ls6 heads (untouched) with a good dyno tune...425rwhp sounds good.

the stock ls6 heads are only 15-20hp improvement over stock...even with a cam.
