Looks good, my current setup cranks @ 225-235 so all is well. Here's my rationale....

The highest 346 has done low 500s.
500
+ 25rwhp for a solid roller
+12rwhp for crankcase vac
+xrwhp for coatings and new heads
540rwhp with driveline loss

Take your calculator...
511rwhp with 15% driveline loss

Stock Z06
405 - 360rwhp = 10% driveline loss
Stock C5
350 - 320rwhp = 10% driveline loss

so.....

511rwhp with 15% loss equals ~602 at the crank
602crank with 10% loss equals ~540rwhp

Relax donkey, the parts are coming. This helps build anticipation! Just like your wife was anticipating the color sanding on your car.

I predict my lawnmower will make more power. J/K. If that motor was in a f-body with a 10 bolt, it would make crazy power. I'm going to say around 520 with 440 lbs ft of torque. I may need some wet sanding on my car too.
