Default What kind of power are we looking at?

My brother blew his motor so he's redoing some things. The mods below are what we are working with and we're just curious as to what the motor will be capable of. We haven't seen HP numbers on Lloyd's LS1 stuff so that's why we're asking.

LE2 241 heads (flow 305/220 with 2.02/1.60 valves)
LE cam 222/222 .600/.600
Hooker longtubes, ORY, Borla catback
LS6 manifold.
Stock 10 bolt with 3.73's
Stock rebuilt shortblock.
It will have a base tune but will be dynotuned
M6
Stock injectors and fuel pump
160* T-Stat

He's really hoping to make 400 RWHP but with a mild cam we're not sure what it's actually going to make. Thanks guys. This is our first LS1 car so we're kind of learning still. We've always had LT1 cars.

We chose the 222 cam for driveability on the street over the 226 so we know we're sacrificing a little bit of power there. These heads flow better than Lloyd's TFS LT1 heads plus the cylinder pressure is off the charts on LS1's. He really wants to make 400 rwhp. There's a few little things that I know would make a difference like some better rockers but he doesn't have the cash. He's got seriously got just enough to pay for the heads, cam, and the new shortblock. Hopefully his car will make some good numbers and more people will head to Lloyd for LS1 porting. I haven't seen a whole lot of people with his LS1 heads either.

yeah the cam is really pretty small.You will be very suprised at how nice the driveability is with it.A 226 cam is even pretty mild.And you dont want to use anything but the stock rockers for that.Most people will only run the stockers,even on some large cams just because they are very light and strong.So keep what ya got and see how it does good luck.I can see 400 out of that.Do you know what cc the intake runners are.??

I'm not sure about intake cc. I'll ask Lloyd when we pick the heads up.

How much and where could we get his TB ported for and does the LS6 intake have to be or even can it be opened up more? Again this IS our first rodeo with and LSX car so we're learning.
