There's actually no way for a LS1 to adjust for lash with stock rockers. Did you mean preload on the pushrods possibly?

What are the rest of your mods? If it's a 9" spooled with 5.12's I would say 330rwhp. that was a joke, but seriously I bet it is every bit of 370 cam only.

The valve events will determine the lope, but as a close one, check out any vids of the MTI X1 or the TR230.

Here is not a great quality vid of my wife's old MTI X1 (230/227 .591/.571 112LSA) with heads. Old setup
