I wouldn't guess it to be big. Maybe in the medium range. If you add headers, tune, and the cam, I can see it making 100hp but we don't know where the OP started at (baseline).

baseline must have been well over 400rwhp to get that kinda number...my ls2 with stage II heads 238/242 600+ lift, u/d pulley,plus ported fast 92 only made 486rwhp with a good tune...his ls3 must have been a factory freak, sometimes they come out that way..

The LS3 has better heads from the factory then your stage II 243's and the LS3 has a few more cubes. The only thing about your combo that is better then the LS3 is the FAST intake.

Don't you mean 320 cfm (intake)? The ls3's flow at 330 cfm stock. Not enough difference to matter much.
