I ran it through DD2000 for you. Looks like it would run GREAT and be a blast on the street, OR track!

I have almost the exact same combo. Looks like DD is right on the money...or Travis is just really good.

I don't have the chart in front of me, but mine made 450rwhp/465rwtq. Peak HP was @ 5600rpm (and only dropped 20rwhp to 6400rpm). Peak TQ was at 3800rpm.

I don't know what this is at the flywheel (DD #s), but I figure ~530hp/545tq considering 15% driveline loss.

My combo:

AFR 305 heads...~9.5:1 CR on my motor (454)
Comp Cams hyd. roller cam (232/232, .588 lift in/ex, 112 LSA)
1.6 Magnum roller rockers
Edelbrock RPM Air-gap intake (required L88 hood)
Hooker side-mount headers w/ JCL inserts

The thing makes an incredible amount of TQ at low, mid-range rpm but still pulls plenty high in the rev range for a hyd. roller motor...so much that I had to take some gearing out of the rear (I'm running 3.08s now). Of course, I have a Richmond 5-speed, so I have a nice low 1st gear.

I had an LS6 dual-plane low-rise intake that I decided to pull off. I honestly figure it cost me ~15-20rwhp. To some that's not worth it, I know.
