Default Carbed LS6 power #'s

Can someone give me an idea on power output of the LS6 that I am building? Here are the basics...

LS6 block
Stock rods and pistons
Stock crank
Sealed Power Bearings
Aftermarket Rod Bolts
MS4 cam, 112 LSA
Precision Race Springs
Stock LS6 heads
Edelbrock Performer Carb Intake
MSD ignition to run ignition, timing
DEMON 750cfm Carb

I really have no idea. I was thinking in the 450 ish crank HP level. Also I am using the carb setup because the motor is going into a non-lsx vehicle and this makes it a hell of alot easier.

Add about 5-7% more to what you think it would make with a FAST setup.

And with the price of ported stock castings these days, why bother with stock heads?

Yea, I guess you guys are right though. After adding up the cost, it would only be about 200 bucks more to actually get a brand new set of CNC Ls6 heads with .660 springs then it would be to buy used heads then buy a spring kit.

So would I be pushing the same power that an Injected LS6 would make? Around 400rwhp?

91 S10 RCSB, 2wd. It should be a stout little package. It should way as much or less than a C5 vette, so the only thing I'm actually worried about in a s10 is traction
