Default horse power estimates

Hey guys. So I finally got my heads /cam package together after a lot of input and help from you guys. Thanks a million for that. OK here's the list. The car is a 2006 ls2 manual. I'm installing a set of ls2 stage 2 CNC ported heads, k&n cai,comp cam 54-469-11, kooks 1 3/4 headers with off road x pipe, corsa sports exhaust, all new valve train including timing chain, rocker trunion kit, push rods, lifters, etc. Also installing power bond 25% ud harmonic balancer, arp head stud kit,160 thermostat, and last but not least a fast 102. May also install the nick Williams tb in the future but for now the above is my parts list. So guys am I going to hit close on 500 rwhp. Its going on a dyno jet. Any and all HP estimates will be appreciated. And a big thanks also to marylandspeed and hinson super cars for helping me with the build!!!! Come on guys let's see some estimates!!!! I'll post the results in July and see who's the closest.

Thanks bud for your help. I decided to do what you told me and stuck with the ported ls2 heads rather than do the ls3 swap. Your numbers are the exact numbers my shop gave me as well. We will see what happens. Getting pretty excited now as well.

I hope your right man. I'll be we'll pleased if hit the 500 mark however any number above 450 and I'll be happy. No matter what I'll see a big difference in the car. Everybody says the fast 102 is the best mid with the cam and heads. It's suppose to help you feel the power better down low. Thanks for your estimate. I'll post the graph as soon as the build is complete!!!

Even a light weight rear tire and rim setup will help electric water pump lighter flywheel, dont get caught up in the dyno rwhp numbers those are a few to get a high number and better et

Why did you decide against the LS3 (821) heads? That's really the best bet to get close to 500whp short of trickflow heads.

Yup a new c7!!!!! Just joking bud but I just thought it would be nice to get a few members involved for a little fun is all. If I can hit 580 I'll be over the moon. I'll post the exact cam specs later tonight my shop said its a pretty big cam but not extreme. He said it will have that nice choppy sound I'm looking for. Thanks again for your reply
