Default LQ9 combo 460 rwhp?

Hey guys looked at a car today and wanted to share the combo and get input on the power it should put out. The owner misplaced the dyno graph but I think its right on par.

Lq9
Flat top mahles
Patriot stage 3 5.3 heads
Torquer 2 cam (232/234 .595 112 lsa)
Fast 90 intake
Fast 92 tb
Flp stepped longtubes
12:1 compression

I guess it was tuned by slowhawk and did 460/420 through the stock rear.

I have the same cam but the stage 2.5 5.3 heads. Mine laid down 426 rwhp. I don't know if the increased cubic inches plus the better heads would make up the difference.

Yeah i PMd Don about it. I believe him, even the initial dyno graph was 439/400. I dont really care to be honest haha its fast enough for me. 12:1 + slightly more cfm + more cubes + stepped headers i doubt is 35 RWHP but you never know.

Doh, this really should be in gen 4 because its an ls2 lol.

Sounds about right, might be able to get a little more out of it with some slight changes.

Just a quick bump. I called the tuner and i guess the only graph he had was 440/410. That seems more in line to me with the mild cam and the pretty budget heads. Whatever, track times Saturday lol.
