Default will I hit 400hp?

Just got done putting in a MS3 cam with ported 243 heads. 2001 trans am ls6intake, headers, ORY, Borla, 3.73's, 4000 stall. Will I reach that 400 hp mark or will the stall and gears hold me back?

It really depends on the converter. Typically I would expect that combo to go in the 405-415 RWHP range but it really depends on the converter as well as the condition of the short-block and vehicle itself.

i was looking at that cam to do you think it would be ok at a 3k stall not trying to hijack the thread 4k just seems like a huge stall to me

You'll be very close, I'm going to say yes though. Probably in the 405 rwhp ballpark I'd say. Don't be disappointed if something under 400 comes up, she'll still run great. My 408 only makes 485 through the glide and 5k stall on motor but still runs mid 10s.

I am more concerned about track times but I was just curious and though I would see what some of you guys thought. I'm hopping to hit 11.60's at the track. When am I getting it tuned? When ever I can get a hold of my tuner.

buddy of mine went 11.52@ 120mph with the Torquer V.2 cam and SS4000 & Motive 3.73s so i'm hoping that a MS3 does better lol but then again he's on Hoosier QTPs and QA1s on all 4

oh btw my buddy did 407.8 rwhp 373.3 rwtq on his Torquer V.2 cam through that 4000 stall so in my mind that MS3 should get some better numbers

You should hit the number. My friend just put down 412 with the same setup his stall was a yank ss3600 though. so Im not sure how much that might effect the #'s from 3600 to 4000
