Default Predictions? LQ9, 799 heads, EPS Cam, LS6 Intake, Stalled 4L60e

Just got my car together and waiting on a tune, any thoughts on numbers?

Old setup was..
LQ9
799 Heads
TR224 Cam
LS6 Intake
Pacesetter longtubes
Built and stalled 4L60e

Made 386/396 on a dynojet

New setup is
LQ9
799 heads
EPS 230/234 .600/.605 112+4
LS6 Intake
FTP Lid + 85mm MAF + Katech CNC ported TB
Pacesetter longtubes
Same Built and stalled 4L60e

Any ideas?

Should be right around 11 to 1

Yes the 799's are untouched. No work at all done to them.

If all you changed was the cam, lid, MAF, and ported TB I think you will be right at 400rwhp.

Thats about what I was thinking, 400 to the tires is fine by me. The real power will come when I finish the n2o wiring

LOL. He's not going to gain 45rwhp with those changes. LQ9 ci is 364. Just remember to reverse the 4 and the 6 from an LS1/346ci.

400-405rwhp sounds about right.

I think 430 might be more accurate if it were a t56 car.

To see 400 on a dyno sheet NA would make me happy.

Would like to add that this was on the dyno today...made 2 less RWHP than it did last year with the old setup on the same dyno.

Its down about 15hp and 20ftlbs of tq till 5500 then the old cam fell off, where as new cam carried very well all the way to 6900.

Last year/old setup 386/392
Numbers now are 384/378.

Any ideas why im making LESS overall power? I expected to give up some low end, but really thought I would have picked up peak power, like closer to 400.

Posting the graph shortly.
