Default Lm7 5.3 potential horsepower

I'm throwing together a 2003 5.3 with flat tops, a btr stage 3 truck cam, ported 862 heads, tbss manifold and throttle body, and of course long tube headers.. I was wondering what kind of flywheel horsepower I could expect out of this?

Mid to high 300's for sure at the fly wheel.

I would think more, I don't have heads or such an aggressive cam and I make 302 to the wheels through 4.10s and 33s

I'd expect 350-360whp

What all do you have done to your truck? my goal for this is just a 400hp flywheel build

Im there now, if that's your goal. The extra compression, worked heads and aggressive cam ought to be worth another 30-40hp

LS6 springs
TSP 212/218 .550 "Stage 2"
4" ebay intake
e fans
speed density tune
TSP 1 7/8 LTs
3" Y
3.5" back

otherwise its a stock (rod bolts included) gen3 5.3 with 706s, dished pistons, stock intake manifold, stock TB engine
