Another what will my car dyno thread. 1998 M6 camaro
AFR 205 heads, unmilled
231/237 TSP cam
LSX 78mm intake
Hooker LT's, with ORP
stock 10 bolt with 3.42's
Stock rotating assembly, with ARP bolts.
Then of course all the extras to support these mods, injectors, pushrods,oil pump, fuel pump,timing chain stuff like that.
Thanks

400-415 most likely. Don't waste your time with the 78mm LSx intake, either get the 90mm intake or keep the LS6. You probably won't need or benefit from bigger injectors either.
If you only hit 350-360, I'd push your car off of a cliff.

I was expecting 430-450rwhp. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to mill the heads? That is lower than I thought. How are people hitting 450rwhp then with these cars? I was planning bigger injectors b/c once then engine is done i will spray 100 dry shot on top of it. But i want to know how to get the most out of it N/A first!! I bought the 78mm LSX intake along time ago when they just came out so I am stuck with it for now.
Keep in mind that 450rwhp H/C cars are the EXCEPTION, not the rule.
That being said, AFR 205s are definitely capable of hitting 450rwhp, and they are unbeatable when part of a properly matched combo. Tony at AFR has hit 480rwhp with a tiny 224/228 cam. His tuning is also PERFECT, he has a ported 90mm intake and tb, perfect quench, and adequate compression. Look here for some examples of AFR combos.

i say ~410rwhp as well. and agree with everything shawn stated 
yours is an example of just throwing part A, B, and C and expecting magic.
AFR's: great heads when optimized which you arent; unmilled = stock compression
tsp231/237: good top end cam, lacks low/mid range and is on slow ramps
LSX 78mm intake: not worth much if any over an ls6 intake
Hooker LT's, with ORP: good budget header but not top end like kooks/qtp's
stock 10 bolt with 3.42's: aids in higher numbers
Stock rotating assembly, with ARP bolts: bottom end could be tired and most likely is on a 98. Tony had like 2% leak down on his motor.
i'd say start over; mill the heads for added compression, run the cometic, and choose a different cam. plus your missing pulley, TB, ect.

Man this must be the worst combo ever hey. I just spent the last hour reading on how cam only (231/237) make 390-410rwhp. For me not to gain anything with a lsx and AFR heads is really strange. I guess I should just get a cam and make the same power. I also forgot that I am putting in forged pistons so I can spray the $hit out of it, but that will not help either.
SO ANYONE USING THIS CAM NEVER BUY HEADS B/C IT WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE POWER!!

SideStep, 97bowtie, answer is in his sig. Went with a 237/242 though. 777 has resurected an old post.
405rwhp with 237/242 and Stg 2.5? I wonder if he still have the stock LS1 intake? It's not mentionned in the sig.
Edit: OK I just noticed that he still have his stock tuning.
