Default How much power do you think I'm making?

I got a C5 corvette with LS1 heads port and polished with 2.02 intake and 1.75 exaust (titanium springs), a comp. cams 228/228 with .571 lift on both intake and exaust at 112 degree lobe sep, LS6 intake, Vortex ram air box, SLP high flow oil pump, LG longtube headers with NO cats, and a B&B catback exaust!.............I also have a Mcleod twin disc clutch, and DTS built rear differential with 3:90 gears. I don't think the clutch and gears will affect the dyno numbers, but figured I'd add incase they do somehow.

I'm going to need to have my car dyno tuned here soon and was wondering what kind of numbers I could expect to see.....

I say 415 RWHP maybe 425??? I had LG Pro with Borla stingers (no cats) and IMO they sound just about perfect. The gears will cost you a bit of HP, but not much as on the dyno they are 1:1 anyways. Might be smoking crack again too. Did you post this elsewhere?

Thanks..........I hope to see good numbers. I'll post up again once I get it dyno'd. That won't be for a while though.

...... Yeah........Although, if I see 400whp, I'll be happy. I don't have a huge cam and I'm still running the LS1 cylinder heads. If I went with a 23X cam and some AFR or ported/milled LS6 heads, I would expect 450rwhp or more. But 400whp and I'll be happy
