Default My EPS 226/234 Cam just cam in. How much HP more will it make

I have a 2007 LQ4 in a 1980 Transam with a Ls6 intake and Edelbrock conversion headers. Its got 3.42 gears and a Yank ss3600 stall in a 4L80E. I have not dynoed it yet wondering what the cam will do for me. Its going in the motor in the spring and New Era is going to tune it. I already have 7.425 Trickflow pushrods and Patriot Gold dual springs .650 lift. Specs on the cam are 226/234 dur lift is 598/601 on a 113 Eps cam motor is stock except the above listed. The car was 3560lbs bfore the conversion with a 383 chevy aluminum heads not sure if the car gained weight or lost weight on the conversion. Thanx

This combo may not put down a lot on the dyno but should scoot around really well. My TR224 camm'd LS1 put down 370 through an unlocked converter years ago for reference.

I will be changing heads later hoping to see 400whp with prc 243 stage 2.5 heads but I know that freaking 4L80E eats up HP , atleased it wont break like the 4l60e does

That cam would really like the 10:1 flat tops of an lq9 but I'll guess about 355
to 360 rwhp even w/4l80 trans and 9.5 dished pistons
