Default Estimated Power?

Im thinking of the following mods:

LT Headers
BBK (fake) CAI intake
Cow Tune (engine and a6)

Can anyone give me an idea of how much net power (not rear wheel) i'll be making in my ls3 after all that?

Thanks.

Would this calculate to about 475 hp net?

I don't have a stock dyno but I think most A6s make about 370 rwhp. If you ratio then that's 503 flywheel. At 380 stock then about 490 fw.

I got a 30hp and 28 ft lbs gain on my 06 a6 LS2 with AR headers, dynotune and Vararam.
I would think the LS3 would see better gains.
