Question Need your opinions: LY6 6.0 with carb + LS 3 Cam = 450HP?

I am trying to figure out how much HP I should expect from my budget Carb LS setup.

I have a long block LY6 6.0, I am going to install a STOCK LS3 cam (204/211 .551/.525 117) , valve springs, and push rods on it. I am also going to carb it and put long tube headers and a dual plane intake manifold on it.

Can I expect to get 450 HP out of it or is 410 HP more realistic?

Thanks!
Edy

I assume you're talking at the crank?

A 6.0 with long tubes and a short runner intake should hit around 380-390rwhp.

Yes, I am talking about at the crank.

Thanks for the info. That should be about 430 bHP (with 15% drivetrain lost)
