Default HP estimation

just for *****, and its the makin me ask this. But I was just wondeing if anyone had any guesses on my rwhp. I have an 00' z28 m6, lid, k&N, free ram air, comp cam w/ 216/220, smooth bellow, pacesetter long tubes (wrapped), larger MAF, coolant bypass (like that makes a ****), egr mod, msd wires, 3 inch off road y pipe, borla exaust dumped w/ a 60/40 split (60 free flowing/40 threw muffler). Just curious is all.
yes I do plan on actually getting it dynoed when I'm working during the summer, but I'm in college right now so no job.

350-360ish rwhp would be my guess. You need an LS6 intake as your next mod...

sounds nice to me, I thought the 400 was a bit on the high side but that is my goal by the end of the summer. I plan to have the TB ported get a LS6 intkake, Asp pulley, and LS1 edit. Hopefully that will get me there. The funny thing is when I got the car it had all the other stuff besides the smooth bellow, egr mod and headers and I was like DAMN that thing is quick enough ( of corse that was coming from a driver of a 75 scout with a 304 and 7 inch of lift). BUt now I just want more. All I have to say is I love my LS1
