Default Putting together a LS1

Im usually on the truck side of the house, but since im doing an 5.7 ls1 this time, ive reading a bit over here. My build so far, and I was wondering about how much hp im looking at here. Thanks

2000 ls1 block
05 5.3 crank and rods(rods have been balanced)
SDPC 5.3 CNC ported heads (not milled) but have the 2.00/1.55 valves 62cc
Ls7 lifters/trays
Dual valve springs/retainers/viton seals
Lunati Vodoo 227/232 .584 .584 113 lsa
Kieth black flat top pistons
Manley pushrods 7.4s
MLS head gaskets
ARP Head stud kit
LS6 ported oil pump
Sealed power rings
Long tube headers/catless Y
stock truck intake and throttle body(for now)
Marine 8.1 injectors

I was hoping to be around 500 on motor

am I close?

You're probably about 425-450 at the flywheel. With a better induction system you'll be closer to your goal.

Thank you for the comment. I may go to the newer truck intake and 90mm throttle body then. I appreciate it

I thought the 5.3 crank and the LS1 crank were different due to piston weight?
