N/A 5.3l build
well its gonna have bigger injectors obviously and it's getting a custom tune also having a haltech 950 and I'm not expecting 500 I'm expecting 430 (at the crank) which is reasonable also it's got ported heads you keep leaving that out
also hard time believing your going 8,000rpm and I doubt your cam is effective past 7,000rpm

By all means dont take my word for it, hopefully you make 350+whp its certainly possible with an efficient manual drivetrain on a happy dyno but standalone doesnt add any power, and ported heads arent worth much on a NA 5.3L with a .545 lift cam. lol trust me I had Holley EFI, Bosch 210's, fancy headgaskets, E85, maxed out timing, I did it because I was bored and went back to making 1000+hp with my turbos.
A 236/246 cam wants to rev in a 5.3L. If you havent revved one out past 7000 you're missing out, summits 8717 cam makes power to 7900 in a 5.3L as well. If all you do is go by is the specs on the cam chart then you arent going to have the greatest results.

do you have the dyno sheet for that build? Standalone was just extra info
