Going to dyno the car with its new mods..any ideas of what it will put down?

Hey all, Just got done installing my heads and cam, details are in my sig as well as a full list of mods. I dynoed my car before the head and cam install and it pulled 298 rwhp. That was basically intake and exhaust mods with a tune. Now I have the head, cam, ported intake, tb, injectors, fuel pump upgrades, re tuned, lt4 km and 1.6 rr.

Im guessing ill put down between 380-390 hp, I have no clue as to what tq. So what are your thoughts abotu what numbers it will put down?

I'll be optimistic and say you're probably north of 400whp/380tq.

Is the LT4 cam the Hotcam kit?

The cam Is a Ai 226/234 cam with a .565/.565 lift and 110 lsa. I think you mistook the LT4 km (knock module) as my cam.

Thanks! Id be very happy with that. I was talking with one of my friends who once had a high mid 10 sec LT1 and he warned me that being an auto like I am with a stall that my dyno could be lower than expected. But with out really seeing alot of dyno mumbers from H/C LT1 a/4 cars im not sure what to expect.

It's hard to expect a certain number. The old adage says that dynos are only tuning tools anyway. See what it runs at the track regardless of what it puts down.
