Default What HP can I look to get?

Well guys I finally got everything installed on my truck and took it to the tuner the other day and I am going to get it. I want to know what kind of numbers you think I will get. Here are my mods
Powerdyne blower 8 pounds of boost, 42lb injectors, 255 fuel pump, pacesetter long tubes, flowmaster exhaust, 98 vette heads and cam, ported throttle body, corvette shift kit, auburn posi unit. Just curious as to what you guys think I should put down I will let you know as soon as I get back tomorrow.

my stock 2000 5.3 dynoed 260 RWHP and 304 RWTQ. Those gains you should get with 3-4 psi and running really rich. I think something is very off. A 5.3 with your mods minus blower and a cam would put down more RWHP.

I agree I think that there dyno was off or something cause my truck bone stock was VERY STRONG, and I believe it has way more power than this now and so do all my friends. When I told them my numbers they all looked at me like HUH??????

doesnt a 2000 5.3 have 270 hp at the flywheel? so your only losing 10 hp to the rear?

is your truck intercooled on the powerdyne?

EDIT: I just looked at powerdynes website and it says their kit runs at 7 psi.

EDIT AGAIN: i just noticed that you have vette heads and cam on it. i could be wrong but i read somewhere that those heads dont have the right combustion ratio or something.
