Default 5.3L & TR230 cam?

Hey Everyone.

Ive got a 5.3L In my irocz and im trying to figure out approximately what my hp figures would be like and how well the engine would run with it.

Heres teh setup:
5.3L Engine (5k)
LT Headers
ORY
LS6 intake
CAI
Underdrive pulley
4L65e
Magnaflow catback

The cam would be the TR230 cam. I saw in my LS1/LS6 power handbook, the 5.3L made 352hp w/ LS6 cam. CAI, Catback & little bit of ignition advance. I figure the headers & ORY, LS6 intake, bigger cam & underdrive pulley might net me 370hp @ flywheel?

Lets hear opinions!

ive got the X1 which is a 230/227 cam on a 112 on a A4 and i made 395 rwhp with stock heads. i also want to run this cam with some 5.3 heads. i think that you should be making 420-430rwhp with that setup!
