Looks pretty good, personally I ditched my MAF in favor for an SD tune, and went with a 255/263 .634/.624 115lsa cam. You would be suprised st how much duration the larger cubes eat up and tame down.

I'm gonna guess 480-490hp. That's not quite enough cam/compression/heads to reach 525rwhp IMO. But hey, I could be wrong.
Also, there's a whole section dedicated to dyno guessing and bench racing

Kinda looking for more than just guesses here, really appreciate others feed back on what the weak parts of the build are.
Still wanting a streetable car so didnt go bat **** crazy with it. Figured the cam posted with a little larger LSA, but appreciate the suggestions!

With the 12cc dish mahle and 64cc heads I think we are hard pressed to get to the 11.5:1 and higher SCR. Heck the pistons are already around :020 to :025 above deck! Tried talking him into going with the 8cc dish pistons from weisco but he didnt want to spend the extra 125-150 bucks for them. Should be around 10.9:1 SCR

Well the heads were to get milled down farther, I think it would be losing some Flow for Compression. Another thing is how much PTV we would still have. It should have enough room with the dished pistons but Im sure we would want to check first.
Im guessing a upgraded set of PRC Stg 3 LS6 heads slightly milled and a little bigger stick (246/253 .62x .62x 112LSA) would be a nice upgrade for him down the road. would be nice to convince him to go with a set of TFS or AFR's!!

Take it with a grain of salt, this is the internet. I think it looks like a strong combination of parts for the money invested......however, I would ditch the (I presume) stock steel DS in favor of an aftermarket unit, and like already stated consider a SD tune. 1 7/8 th headers may benefit some on this combo as well. We are just trying to help you. If you want semi-exact numbers, nobody can give them to you, but some digging on your part may yield some numbers on some very similar combos.

I understand this is the interwebs just seeing if everyones on the same page so r expectations arent too high, and some insight on the areas we have to improve on.
