Default What rwp will I be making??

Hey everyone I got a stock 99 Camaro SS with some mods and heads and cam combo I plan to run and want to know what kind of realistic rwp numbers I can expect and times in the 1/4. Here is the list of mods that are on my car and the cam and heads I plan to run.
On the car-
2in fiberglass pin on hood, Whisper Lid, Ported stock throttle body, SLP smooth bellow, 1 3/4 primaries into 3" collectors Stainless LT's, pacesetter ORY 3", 3" cat-back flomaster, and the basic mods like de-screened MAF, throttle body coolant bypass, and ram air mod.
Heads and Cam
243 mild ported heads
236/242 .580 .590Lift 112lsa

whith a good tune what can i expect? thanks

Eh idk about that. Maybe 400 even I would guess. He's not getting the best heads he could for that cam. As far as 1/4 mile times no one here cab really tell you that man. Sure you can spout a list of mods and we can guess HP but without knowing how good a driver you are you could run a 14 your first pass. No one can tell you your time only one way to find out...

My guess is 400 to 410. Those are still strong numbers.

If heads are cnc ported I would think with that biggun cam you should have a pretty high peak power number maybe like 420hp but def gonna lose bottom end with that race cam...

The Ls6 intake is a good idea, but 420-430 hp aint gonna happen with the Flow-Disaster catback.

OP,
I would ditch that cat back for another one or have a muffler shop build you a set of 3 inch duals with an H or X pipethat dump at the axle.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I really hope to make at least 400 to the wheels. I was looking to switch to Borla catback or LM1, not sure which one. Oh and forgot to list my cutout after the Y on mods. Best time I ran at the 1/4 track was 13.2 @ 106 mph Stock. Im by no means the best driver but I would say I'm decent. Pulled a new 5.0 in 1/4 outshifted the driver haha. anyway just looking for opinions and I like to read the feedback helps me alot. Thanks.
