VortecMax parts in, ready to rip! Opinions?
So i have a 2007 classic VortecMax with bolt ons. Sitting in my garage is a 3200 stall, custom blower cam from Cam Motion thanks to the big homie Vortec350ss, beehive springs from BTR, 60 lb DeatschWerks injectors, and Amsoil fluid/filters for trans and motor for when the swaps go down! My tuner helps me put all this stuff on and he's busy so it'll be about 2 weeks until they all go on. What do yall think of this combo? Any rwhp assumptions? i'm hoping for 400.. cant wait to take it to the track and get my first time sheet. and how much more life can i expect from my 160k 4l70e after all this.. i do have a vette servo and tru-cool max trans cooler already on.. but say i am putting down close to 400 rwhp, is my 70e going to hate me a lot? lol

So basically just a cam, springs and stall? The converter doesn't actually add any power, just lets the engine get to its powerband quicker.
Decent cam with tuning on a 6.0 can gain 50-60rwhp pretty easy.

If you take off those boat anchor 20's and run on factory wheels it will surprise you! It will be good for a low 13 in good weather.
I went 13.85 in my truck with similar mods and a stock converter. At that point a 3200 converter would have likely given me at LEAST half a second. My 60' time was a 2.15ish if i remember right and I don't think 1.9 would have been a stretch.
