I think that sounds about right NA, mainly because that cam doesn't have a lot of lift. FWIW my stage 2.5 heads flow numbers didn't favor the reverse split cam I had in initially when I put them on, but you have larger headers so it may not be too bad.

Correct, it depends on what size valves you have, if the seats have been back cut, milled, gasket thickness...I'm fixing to upgrade to a 230s cam, from my 218 cam so I'm anxious to see the difference.

Really depends on the dyno, do you have any before comparisons on this dyno?

Not true and not fair.

The best shops are typically the busiest. You'll be very happy with the results.

I "perdict" 410 to 415. Not a big fan of reverse split cams and the LS2 manifold is not the hottest setup.

I think he has an LS2 TB and a FAST intake.
My guess is 435/419

before you set it on fire . . . I'll take it - just saying

Heck I was happy with 414 rwhp before my motor went

What is your goal / guess 15 hp more?

Long tubes and intakes does not equal 410. More like 390ish.

Your choice of cam is the only thing that will cause any disappointment in your results.
