I'd say about 30-35 hp over stock, altogether. If you really want to know, get it on a dyno before & after. Or better yet, get some track times.

well not to get into ricer math the l33 is rated around 310. The ratings are close for example I have a LSX book that dynoed a stock lq4 minus a few accesories dynoed at 337 when they added a ls6 cam only added about 20 hp. You might try to change that ls6 cam to a comp 265. Sometimes this plus this is not always so. But what you are putting together prob want be dissapointing.

IMO, an LS6 cam isn't worth it unless your going boost on a budget....

Shorty headers are a waste of money as the stock manifolds flow just about as good...save and buy some long tubes.

Not trying to rag on your ride, but researching before modding can save you lots of money down the road.

only reason why im using the shortys is because they came stock on the truck and i cant afford longtubes at the moment
the only reason why im using the Ls6 cam is it was basically free and i like the fact of gaining hp without hearing it and it will also see some nitrous one day
