Sounds good, could be a fun ride, ..., But the stretched wheel fad has gotta be on its way out.
In my opinion, it just looks stupid to anyone who is into puttin' power out & to the ground.
And the camber set-up on the rear is the same thing.
Your defensive atitude won't win, ...
But Good Luck, & hope you have deep full pockets to keep updatin' the rear ends!
That'd be badd-*** if it had a decent paint job, a narrowed 9", & some sticky tires.

PLEASE remove those wheels and that over stretched tire fad they call "stance"
Funny how everyone with "stance" takes that same wheel closeup. Closeups are supposed to include something impressive.
I'm sorry, even the LS3 can't sway me to like this car.

Yeah, header primaries are going to hold your power back quite a bit.
Those are good size for 281 Mustangs, not a 376 LS3s with big cam and heads.
Also, that cam is completely *** backwards it seems. You would think that on a setup with very good intake but lacking exhaust flow the lift would be lower on the intake and higher on the exhaust to make up for the deficit. But no, you have big lift on an already great flowing intake and low lift on an already crappy exhaust. That is also hurting your power numbers. What's the rest of the cam specs like? Usually cars with small headers or shorties tend to have cams that favor the exhaust portion to make up for that, usually with longer duration and bigger lift than on the intake side.

I like the car man! Wheels are nice! Build is nice! Your primaries are definitely holding you back. You'll find this site is awesome for information but it can get a little annoying how everyone says something negative about your wheel setup. Anything out of the normal 15" Bigs and Skinnies setup is gay! lol. To each their own.

I am at the beginnings of my LS3 swap into an S13 coupe too.
Seems like your numbers are a little low considering a lot of Camaro guys hit just around 475 WHP with a stock heads (with headers and exhaust though).
It's my understanding that Dynapacks also read a little higher due to the dyno being hooked up directly to the rear hubs.
Why not just go with a Pat G cam instead? Same price and better matched for your setup? That's what I am leaning towards.
Who makes those headers?
Did you make your own mounts?
Also, what is your exhaust setup? I want to do a dual 3" exhaust on my setup.
What oil pan do you have?
Where did you buy your CTSV accessory drive from? I still need the alty and brkt.
