Default Gen2 SBC

Hey guys I’m new to building cars just wondering what possible power I could make with this set up on my LT1

.40 over bore with 385 forged rotating assembly kit flat top with Hbeam rods
not sure exactly what cam yet over .600 lift for sure
AFR LT4 220 heads 65cc chamberd race ready
edelbroc LT4 intake manifold
holley 58mm TB
24x conversion kit
hooker long tube headers

kinda the bases or start of what I have now and other little things ati dampener ect the car already has a walboro 225 fuel pump and 410 gears in the rear end also it has the borg Warner T56

not sure what kind of power I’m going to be looking at so just curious what someone with more knowledge than I would think.

It's all going to depend on your heads/cam combo. Typically with a stroker/big heads/cam you're looking at around 500-550ish flywheel hp.

LT4 intake you can ditch. IMHO send your stock one to Lloyd Elliott and get a head/cam combo from him
