Default What kind of HP to expect to the wheels

2000 LS1 block,4 inch stroke, around 10.7 to 1 comp, ls6 stage 3 heads or 5.3 stage 2.5's, custom cam from eps, edelbrock victor jr with hat for throttle body, longtubes with cutouts right off the headers, 6speed car, 4.10's in a 9 inch, and I think im going to get a speed density tune from frost or VA speed. what kind of numbers should I put down? Any body have some suggestions on the build?

depends on the cam specs. you also have to watch out for stage 3 ls6 heads as many of them wont clear the stock ls1 bore.

Cam choice is a huge part of this puzzle. Need that before you can start asking how much power your going to make.

you will need big injectors,#42 or bigger.will need a better fuel pump.stage 3 heads will hurt hp ,get stage 2 heads .you could make 500/500 hp/tq.whats your budget.

My budget is cheap but I dont want to have to do anything twice, im saving up and buying piece by piece. Is the edelbrock manifold and hat just as good as a fast? how much hp is gained or lost between the two? Also, where does my map sensor go if I do a edelbrock?

I think your going to want to run a FAST that edelbrock will have no TRQ to it with the short runners and your going to half to cut your wiper cow for it to clear and hood
