Default Opinion on power output

I am just about to 355 my stock block.. I am boring .030 over, I have an LT4 hot cam, and the 1.6 roller tip rockers, with factory ported and polished heads, and an edelbrock intake, and of course all the bolt ons, lt headers, cai, pcm programmed, etc.... My quesion is do you think this combination will get me pretty close to the 375 horsepower mark????? I realize it is hard to guess, but any guess, or if anyone has ran something close to this?? Thanks for the info...

I don't think you will break the 375 rwhp mark with the LT4 hotcam. Also depends on how well your heads flow. With the cc503 and ported heads I've only seen them get up to 380-390 rwhp. And the 503 is bigger than the hotcam by quite a bit.

I agree. 375 rwhp on a Hotcam will be pretty hard.

350 seems reasonable for hotcam w/ supporting mods. like said above throw a lil more aggressive cam in there and you will be a lot happier w/ the results
