Newbie here/cam expectations

Hi all, Im a newbie here, but a long time member of the corvetteforum. I just ordered the TSP 231/237 cam package.

What type of dyno #'s can I expect on my ride after this is installed. Here are the mods:sy3500, 3.73's, tpis long tubes, no cats, corsa indys, ls6 intake, vortex rammer, underdrive pulley, 160 thermostat. Going to get tuned at the time of the install. What do you guys think? 99 a4 c5 vert

Welcome!

My guess us around 380 RWHP (Locked)

I am by no means an auto expert though, especially with a loose converter. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Good luck

id say 380 as well...converter will sap some hp but hes got a good supporting cast of mods around the cam so he should put up decent #'s at least for a cam only car...probably capable of mid 11's with good traction and 60's
