Default How much horsepower from this combo?

I am installing the torquer 2 and ported ls6 heads from Texas Speed plus the mods listed in my sig. What kind of numbers is this going to put down? Also any one that has this setup or a close version please list your numbers.

I was thinking low 400's as well. So add 20% for driveline loss and that will give you rough numbers at the flywheel.

I've always thought it was like 17% as well, but then the 20% at least seems to give you a bit of cusion for dissapointment or something. I'd say you'll be putting out more than 400 since a buddy of mine is running a MS3 with home ported 241's and dyno'd 408rwhp.

We had a customer come in Thurs or Friday that made 453rwhp with that combo & a Fast Intake. He didn't have a pulley, 85mm maf & was running through a catback though... We hope to get him back down here with a maf, cutout & pulley in the next couple of weeks. I think the car will make 475rwhp pretty easy...
