Default Cam only LS3 question

What kind of power number are you guys seeing with stock intake, longtubes, catted x pipe and stock catback? The cam in question is BTR stage IV N/A camshaft. But really any big cam. Thanks in advance.

I have the Tick performance SNS Stage II which is essentially the same as the BTR stage III with the Kook 1-7-8 LT's, catted Xpipe and stock NPP mufflers and make 487 RWHP and 448 RWTQ with some low end surging, but great throttle response and pulls hard to about 6800 RPM.

And with some seat time, you can get ¼ mile times like these with that setup.
