Default Power To Expect?

I will be taking my car in for a cam swap. Just wondering if anyone is using this cam and how they like it? Anyone have sound clips? Also what kinda of power to expect for this. Comp Cam 238/242 .605 .06 on a 113 LSA. Supporting mods are headers/catback/intake/valvetrain/underdrive pulley/all the other misc that goes into the install. Car is a 04 Z06

Properly tuned, most dynojets are showing approx 430-470rwhp with that combo. Mustang dynos will read lower.

Made 440ish with a slightly larger cam. I would imagine you making something in the 430s.

When you say intake does that include a Fast?

I have an 03 LS6 engine in my 01 Coupe with Vararam, AR LT headers, GHL catback, and a 228/232 Comp Cam and I am at 420 rwhp so you should definitely be more than me.........

I didn't realize you were throwing the FAST into the mix. I change by quote to 430 to 440. I hope we are all low. Good luck!
