Wanted to introduce myself. I have 1985 a 1985 Monte Carlo SS hardtop that ive owned for 2 years. This is my second g-body.

My first was a black 1988 t-top Monte Carlo SS. it had a 450hp 355ci engine 2004r trans 3.73 gears stock 10 bolt rear end. Fun car. Lost it in a fire while getting floor pans replaced.

I want to go a different route with my current car. So I've been working on swapping a 2004 lq9 with 89,xxx miles on it.
so far I have:

Holley Midrise intake
92mm Rev throttle body
46lb ls3 injectors
Aeromotive 340 lph fuel pump
rebuilt 317 heads, 3 angle valve job, milled 30 thousands,
045 compressed head gasket,
Brian Tooley trunion kit, Stock rockers,
Howards .625 lift springs,
ls7 lifters, Meiling high volume oil pump,
Cloyes billet timing chain.
Howards cam 222/225 @50 561/581 lift 112+4 lsa 108 center line
Brp hotrods 1 7/8 longtube headers
Pypes 2.5 inch exhaust with x-pipe and race pro mufflers
2006 4l60e from SS trailblzer
3.73 rear gear
wheels are 30.1 inchs tall over all.
Psi harness and pcm
holley accessory drive


Anybody with a similar setup? If so what kind of power are you making? I was hoping for 410 horsepower at the wheels. Anyone have any advice?
