Very mild L33 dyno results
Results on dynojet, corrected, manual trans.
358 whp at 6100rpm
339wtq at 3200.
When I went looking at the L33, not much info was out there, so hopefully this helps someone. Basically, with the tiny cam it is at stock LS6 power levels (415 crank).
Stock engine right down to the iron manifolds.
Stock truck injectors (max at 90% duty cycle)
The for mentioned cam XR269 with 918 springs.
All smog stuff, and A/c still installed.
We could have got a little more but we pulled it back slightly for a safe tune.

2247Lbs car + 415 crank = one pretty quick car. There are two turbos sitting on my bench earmarked for this car but I am reconsidering going with the boost. I have a H/C Vette with 451whp and this 358whp car make the Vette feel like a Chevette.

manual trans versus auto
likely much lighter wheel/tire combo
end result is tuned
exhaust is pretty well guaranteed to flow better than stock truck
310bhp L33 * 0.85 (15% loss through a manual) = 263rwhp
358-263=95rwhp gain
You are assuming the 310 rating from GM is highly accurate and that the dyno is not a happy one.
Here is a dyno of a stock l33 in an Extended cab short bed truck (found here: http://www.performancetrucks.net/for...-specs-369537/) :
So it looks like in a truck it managed to beat your theoretical power number. 267 times 1.1 to get the extra 10% drivetrain loss back puts the car at 293rwhp.
This drops the estimated gain to 65rwhp from a cam, manifold back exhaust, ls6 intake, and tune. Still sounds a tad high but not out of the realm of possibility IMO.
