Default Dyno Guesses???

UPDATE: 399rwhp/372rwtq

im doin some upgrades to my engine and it should be ready by the end of the week or beginning of next week at the latest. i always like tryin to guess peoples dyno #'s, so i figured i would post up a thread for people to guess.
you can see in my sig what i currently have installed and the dyno #'s are before the ls6 intake. but here is the deal with the cam. the guy i bought it from said it had an ms3 in it, then after i bought it from him he said he didnt know what kind of cam was in it. the guy who owned it before him had the engine rebuilt and the guy who rebuilt it put a cam in and the owner either forgot or couldnt remember what was in it. but ive had people tell me it "sounds" like a hotcam. so thats what i put. but really there is no way of telling. it makes guessing #'s a lil harder, but what can ya do. you can also see in my sig what i am getting installed, basically heads and headers. im hoping for at least 400 rwhp. but i wont be too disappointed with 390+. if you have any questions feel free to ask. let the guessing begin...

here is the before dyno sheet

For a minute, I thought this thread was a joke. Moving this to the Gen 3 Internal section.

haha, my point is that there are so many variables, what kind of dyno, how good is the car tuned, were the parts properly installed, on and on.

Even saying that, and assuming the car is running good etc., somewhere south of 400rwhp.
