Default LS3/376 being swapped into 4th Gen

Getting the LS3/376/480hp swapped into my F-Body as well as an LS7 clutch. Curious to what it should make to the wheels, but not too worried about it, as I've seen 380 hp cars run high 11's with the right setup.

What do the LS3 engines usually make in an f-body?

why not just get the ls3/430hp and just do a cam swap, you should be able to get about 470-480rwhp

I actually did want to get a bigger cam for it, but the 36k mile warranty is too good to pass up and void since I'm going to rip on it

Stock LS3
12 second car no doubt. 111-114MPH
Thanks for the response man. Yep, I did have a qualified shop order the motor for me, with all the parts, and are currently putting it in... along with an ls7 clutch, finally getting around to upgrading the stock clutch

But that's cool it's a 12 second car, hopefully mid-high 11's with the hot cam and all of the mods I have, listed below.
