Flow at .600 is almost meaningless. LS6/1 intake and 241/ 243 heads need flow between .200 and .550 for power.

What do the heads flow from .200 to .550?

so Lone Star is about right on

What are the cam specs?
Are they 243 or 899 heads?
If they are stock C5 heads, porting will only pick up around 20-25hp unless they did some MAJOR work

Why estimate? Take it to a chassis dyno and see for yourself.
