Default What to expect out of 6.0 Lq4

I am just about done with my lq4 swap hopefully this week. Went from a 5.3 with 206/212 comp cam and a few other goodies w/ 4l60e making about 350 flywheel hp per the dyno at MTI in houston. Swapped to bone stock lq4 from an 06 HD and a brand new 4l65e. I do have an ported throttle body, thorly tri y's, and I will be running a tune from wheatly. Will there be much differnce I hope to be close to what I was. Anyone got a clue?

It's definately a move in the right direction. There is no replacement for displacement.
