Numbers for a build

What kinda numbers do you think will come up from this motor...

355 LT1/4
Aluminum Pistions
LT4 Hotcam/Valvetrain
LT4 Heads/Intake P&P'ed for the cam and what not
LT's and Shortys(not too sure which one yet)
Dual Cats w/o mufflers True Duals
LTCC

We just wanted a bit of power, nothin too extreme.

Need anymore Specs? Then just ask!

Thanks

5 extra cubes, good for 5-10 HP
all pistons are aluminum, what CR?
Im assuming you are using 1.6 rockers....
Ported heads doesnt mean much without flow#s or at least having them "ported" by a reputable place.

ok I have to make 2 guesses,

With heads ported in your garage

375HP 350TQ

With heads ported to match the hot cam and a portmatched intake.

400HP 390 TQ

Those #s are for shorties, add about 5 Hp and 10 TQ for LTs

Thanks a lot bro! Thats just a bit lower than I was expecting. CR I hoped would be around 11:1, yes pro P&P job. Also a Electric WP. I was hopin for somthin closer to around 420 or so, but that's still not bad! I also forgot about that hydra rev stuff. so lets say I have 400/400 numbers, then added electric WP and hydra rev, what do you think they are now? Around 420? Possibly 430? I'm not sure how you guys do this, it's kinda understandable, but I get lost easy

Thanks again!

The inofrmation you have posted is not specific enough to really even give a decent guess. If you have head flow numbers, someone who has run similar heads, cam, and exhaust should be pretty close, but there's heads and there's heads. Just saying "ported and polished" covers a whole continent of territory.
