I seen some guys made around 480rwhp on that setup... I'm just hoping my custom grind cam can put out a lil more power... Ehhhhh and they also didn't mill the heads...

I had a stock LS2 GTO shortblock with stock LS3 heads with a cam and crappy midlength headers on 91 octane with a T56. Made 460rwhp. With long tubes I'm guessing it would've gained another 20rwhp. Stock LS3 intake.
You are cam limited with a 4.0" bore due the large 2.16" intake valve.
With some TFS/AFR heads and higher compression you could reach that number.

Oh ok, nice man! And maybe some port work to the heads could have put u closer to that 500rwhp area... I run 93 octane and vp 112 octane at times
I'm trying to do a kinda budget build lol... So no tfs/afr heads for me.

A 6.0 with a 4" bore will need over 11.0:1 compression with a FAST and some sick flowing heads to come anywhere close to 500rwhp. You can make the L92 heads flow good numbers, but you are very far behind in terms of compression and intake flow.
