Wondering if anyone has the same setup below and can tell me what you made on the dyno. I understand it won’t be the exact same and that there a ton of different factors to consider. Just looking for an expected range.
I didn't have the exact same setup, but I have a "before" and "after" dyno when I did my super charger. look at the "run #1" curve -- vararram intake, kook headers, I had an x-pipe at the time, z06 cat back, and a tune. Peak was 331 lb*pound/330 hp

This is actually really helpful. Appreciate the reply!
I know I'm not answering your question specifically. I've never run that specific combo myself. But I've run a similar spec but with ported heads. A stock FRC will typically dyno between 295 and 310 SAE corrected.I'd estimate 35 to 40 whp for the cam. Between 15 and 20whp for the headers and 5 to 10whp for the intake and backend of the exhaust. So in the range of 350whp to 370whp.
I estimate you'll land around 360 to 365whp SAE corrected.
The stock heads are really holding you back. And the LS1 intake is as well (but not as much without better heads).

Appreciate your insight on this and would agree. Better heads and manifold will be upgraded down the road, just not in the budget this time around.
I was hoping for at least 370whp, so will keep my fingers crossed!

I hear you on that. The budget can never be big enough.
You may get lucky and have one of the 310whp baseline cars. And you can also get lucky and put up results that are on the high end of the scale. Which will be very satisfying and land you in that 370 to 375 range. I hope you do even better than that. Good luck!
I'm close, but have 243 heads. I don't have a cai or anything, just headers/x/BTR Stage 2v2. 414 / 386 std on a Dynojet.
Good example with headers and the same cam. SAE corrected this car is about 393whp (which SAE is more of a reality than STD. SAE dyno results are usually about 5% less than STD). The as cast 243 heads are better for about 20 to 25whp over as cast 853s. Which lands between 265 to 270whp.
With stock exhaust, stock 243 heads, 218/226 587/587 114+3 cam, dynoed at 366whp, 370 tq.
I just got some headers to try. Maybe 390-ish?
i think your estimate is really close. I'd guess between 385 to 390whp with the headers. Which is really fun with the 4.10s (and the 4.10s drop whp results slightly on the dyno).
Fwiw, Std is a 3% increase. Makes no difference to me, just putting that out there.
Makes a difference to me. I can't stand when tuners feel the need to provide inflated STD numbers. And typically it's 104.8% relative horsepower in STD vs 100% in SAE. Not 3%.

I chose STD as that's the current standard. Fwiw, I prefer SAE as well, but times have changed.

Where did you hear that "STD is the current standard"? STD was the standard from the 1950s until the 80s. If STD is the "current standard" someone better tell the guys at ECS, Cartek, A&A and LMR. All of which still use SAE as of today. No need for "feel good" numbers.

This may come as a surprise, but the world extends just a bit farther than those three companies. Most people that aren't from this forum wouldn't be able to tell you who two of the three companies mentioned are.
Step outside of the tiny forum world and you'll see.
