Default Can I break 400?

I'm going to the dyno in a week and was curious what kinda power I'd make. I've got a GMAF, TSP lid, TBB, Borla cat-back (full open plate), Pacesetter LT's, ORY, "Gomer" grind 226/226 581/581 114 LSA cam and UD pulley. Also have HPTuners. Whatcha think? Is it possible to break 400?

I had one of those Car Chemistry inserts in my exhaust, boltons, and a 220/224 115 LSA baby cam in and made that 362. Since then I've put on the UD pulley, swapped to a TSP lid from SLP (may go back), REMOVED that DAMN CC insert from my exhaust, and got a 226/226 114lsa cam.

385-390RWHP = my guess.

400+ RWHP N.A. seems to require a good heads a cam package or a stroker short block.

Jeff, I'm gonna call 385-390 rwhp. I'll be extremely impressed, even more than I am now, with Gomer's tuning skillz if you do more than 390. You'll never be faster than me bish!

If it doesn't pull 400 rwhp I can always pull in front and stretch the nozzle from my jug over to your car. Pretty sure I've got enough slack in the line.

I don't think you'll see a 40hp gain from just a cam.............but than again, who knows.

Just my 2 cents........

Im with everyone else. I call 383rwhp but gomer has pulled a rabbit or two out of his computer (which is why he tuned- and gonna retune for my headers- my car).

Jeff, have you got one of Bo's ported TBs on your car yet? If not, you need to get one from him. It will help.

I guess 20-25whp from the addition of your cam.......so I predict 383rwhp! Post up and let us know what you put to the wheels.

I don't have one of Bo's ported TB's. Apparently when I let 1LE from bham redo my clutch, he also ported my TB for me. Bo gave it the OK though. I'm trying to get 38rwhp from a bigger cam, removed exhaust baffle (cork), 25% ud pulley, and different aftermarket air lid, not to mention a few tuning tweaks. So, it's not JUST a cam I'm goin on here. I'll let you guys know!
