Default Expected HP question

I'm still relatively new to LS's so I wanted to ask this. I have a 2001 LS1 engine with a gm hot cam, an LS6 intake and the heads are marked 241. What kind of power should I expect to see from this combo? I did not build it it cam this way. The engine has about 10k on it since a rebuild.

At the tire. Easily over 400 crank horsepower.

A mild cam with factory manifolds will make 340 if you are lucky.

I appreciate the input guys but there seems to be 2 camps on this. 2 of you say 340 - 360 hp the other states 400 crank. Stock hp is 350 crank hp so I would be loosing hp with a statement of 340. I'm not doubting anyone but I am trying to get a better understanding of how I would loose at least 10 hp with a cam and LS6 intake. Can you guys elaborate for me?

340-360 at the WHEELS. 400 at the crank. Wheels is less due to drivetrain losses.

You will also see a little better numbers running a 6 speed manual over a automatic with the same setup but tunes do change things as well. A good tune can really help
