Its hard to say without flow numbers for your heads but 450rwhp seems reasonable. If your heads suck you might not make that, if they are good you could make 470. That means on the spray your talking 650rwhp, deffinate 9sec potential. I'm glad to finally see someone doing this setup, it's so cheap and FAST.

BTW, I want that cam for my 350 Vortec. It's on the big side for stock discplacement, but there are plenty of folks who go bigger. What kind of DP setup do you have? If I had a C5 I would do it the exact same way, thumbs up for you.

I'm running a Comp 230-236 .595 .601 112 LSA +2 cam 110 ICL with PRC 2.5R heads, Dynatech LT's w/ cats, Ported 90/90, all the bolt ons.

SD tune by PHIL97SVT at ProStreet makes the car purr. I'm an M6 and I drive in bumper to bumper DC traffic and scream to the 6600 rev limit. I wanted a setup that would kick *** but that I could still take to the beach or on trips to Florida. That's what I got!

EST 470 RWHP

3.90's going in this month.

With stock displacement you might want to consider 1 3/4 " headers.
A search will lead to a ton of info!
