Dyno Predictions? Getting tuned in two days and wondering what to expect. I'm getting my car tuned day after tomorrow and wanted to see what numbers everybody here has floating around in thier head for my setup. Already planning on going with a bigger cam and 90/90 setup when time and money permits, but I was just curious what everybody thought. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 400hp and 425ft. lbs. Is this a very reasonable expectation?
I feel like a kid at Christmas now that I'm about to get my car back and running right. I've had it a year and only got to put about 500 miles on it due to some unfortunate events, so as long as it's running, I'll still be happy.
Thanks for the input!

Well, I got my car tuned and only got 360hp, 378tq 
. Not sure what the problem is, but I've got a few things I've already done since that will hopefully help out. First thing is that I cleaned my nasty K&N, and I mean nasty (car had been in shop, hadn't had at home to do anything with it). I have 1 3/4" Kooks and a Kooks ORY running into a stock pipe with a flowmaster welded in, which sucks. Also, I traded around for a ported throttle body and a descreened mass air (didn't use the SLP that is in my sig), and hope to get an LS6 intake soon along with electric cutouts.
Hoping to see some improvents, especially since the car that my heads/cam came out of done 380hp on a stock bottom end with the appropriate bolt-ons. Any Ideas or suggestions as to why my numbers are so low?
By the way, the car made a very, very good curve, which was one bit of good news.

Yeah, I know. I bought the cam and heads with intentions of putting it on a stock bottom end at the same time that I bought the car, but it spun some rod bearings after I drove it less than 50 miles. I built the 383 and had to put what I had in it due to an empty wallet. It's not really the way that I wanted to go about it, but I got lemons and am trying to make lemonade .
