Default What kinda power should I make?

I know its another one of these... But I am curious...

1999 Camaro z28 with the following mods:

lid
ported polished TB
ls6 intake
.580 lift cam
Heads are stock and have been ported and polished.(dont know flow numbers)
pacesetter headers
pacesetter y-pipe
hooker catback

What kinda power is this going to make me?

I might be doing 4.10 gears as well

What will I be at after those?

Thanks for your time and help!

Not exactly sure what the specs are now. I just called the shop to see what it was but the owners out on a test drive.

I didnt order anything and I am kinda just waiting to see what the specs are myself.

As soon as I get it ill post it. But my guess on the specs right now are as follows:

.585/.585 224/228 114LSA

Thats my guess on the specs for the cam... With those numbers... What am I looking at HP and TQ numbers?

how can you guess dyno numbers?And why?


damn..... now that is the dumbest thing ive heard in a while!
first thing.... if you cant figure out by yourself why someone would want to estimate the RWHP before the find out, than you are the biggest idiot on the forum.

second.... how... its not very hard, well not for most of us. you on the other hand, sounds like you would have a real tuff time doing somthing a severly
difficult as estimating rwhp numbers...

so anyway... good luck badmother... post your numbers when your done...
