Huh,
I have very similar mods down to the cam specs and rolled 343 rwSAEhp. That is ~400-405 flywheel. You should be around 395 flywheel if your car is tuned up and programmed decently.

I have the same headers and cam as you. I made 315/326 this past weekend. I still have some tuning to do, but I suspect I may see 325 out of it.

I also have about 120,000 miles on the motor. It could be getting tired.

Without headers about 320 at the wheels, but with some LT's and tuning probably closer to 340rwhp. If you port the heads (they're coming out anyway), expect about 365ishrwhp.
