Default ≈wheel horsepower?

I have a ‘90 L98 C4 that I’ve been working on to increase power, and I’m wondering how much I’ll be making with my mods. I have a 600 CFM carb, an RPM Air-Gap intake, a 1.6 rocker arm ratio, an LT4 Hot Cam, and long-tube headers with stock heads.

auto or manual ?
altitude ?

about 350-380hp at crank at sea evel with 750cfm

280 at wheel (guess)
600cfm its limiter here
you need better springs than original L98 (valve floats)
enough cam for 5800rpm, great for this heads with 1.6 rr 5.25 lift
