I'd say 375 rwhp you got a pretty mild cam there man. Not too familiar with your mods either. How hard does she pull ?? Any track times ?

I would get it dynoed to see where your at. The most important is not the dyno number/track time, but you enjoy your car. I don't think it will break the 400 mark...don't know how much your heads are worked.and bigger cam is not always better. They are some nice cams out there that are "bigger". Do you have a underdrive pulley there pretty good HP on these cars for the money. Be safe and enjoy.

I think you should see 400rwhp. That cam alone should have gotten you about 380 and the heads, if the porting was done right, should get you to the 400 mark. Do you have an ls6 intake? Id do some free mods too while you wait to get it on the dyno.

Definately worth picking up an ls6 intake or FAST 90/90.. they are probly worth 10-15(LS6) to 20-30(FAST) on your car... is your car a M6? If it is then 400 should be very attainable.. the only reason you shouldn't have more than 400 is the tune is way off since it isn't a dyno tune... alot of guys pull 400+ cam only, so with your heads you shouldn't have a problem! good luck!

The only thing that might hold you back is the ls1 intake. Ditch that get at least a ls6 intake and ported tb and get a true dyno tune and you will see 400+rwhp..If not just spray it and skip strait over 400 and go to 500

Well since you do have a ls6 intake you shouldnt have a problem with 400.. and if you dont have a ported tb that would be the next area to go. I had a buddy with a torquer 3 that made 398 with bolt-ons with stock tb, upgraded to a ported tb and went to 406 just keep that in mind.. good luck and your goals

Do a search there are a lot of side by side pictures to show you the difference. Usually ported TBs have thinner wals and seem smoother than the stock ones....
