Sure, I'll take a guess. I say 420/395 to the wheels. Wait, which transmission you running?

Oh, the 4L80. In that case, my new guesstimate is 395/375 to the wheels.

Do you have 799 heads, or just the springs?

As you can see in my signature, I have 6.0 heads (317 castings). I had mine milled down .030" to get the compression up. You wouldn't need to do that with 799 heads.

You have a bigger block, cam, and throttle body than me. Based on that, you should be able to get more hp/tq than me. If you don't do something with the heads, you will probably end up with close to the same hp/tq as me. Don't ignore the heads. You can easily make more hp there with what you have. They just need a little tough love.

Those heads should work well. It wouldn't hurt to shave a couple cc off them, but you should still be around 11.04:1 compression.

I'm getting 382hp/368tq at the wheels with a 10.4:1 compression. My heads were also ported, but I still have the stock throttle body.

I'm gonna stick to my second guess of 395hp/375tq.
