The above posts are about the max you should expect though. Don't be upset if it is a little lower.

My buddy bought a car from a member on here with that cam. He doesn't have an LS6 intake, ported TB, or under-drive pulley, and it made 367rwhp/355rwtq. I would think you'd be in the 390 range. What power are you making now?
