I assume you mean .465 inch of lift.
Anywho, somewhere around 330 to 350 hp. That is assuming you have headers and a decent exhaust.

i am putting on flowmaster exhaust, 3 inch, and some 1 and 5/8th's inch headers, i dont know the brand, the cam is a summit cam, and the heads are the stock 350's
those HP numbers, are those at the wheel or crank, because i was told by my friend and guy who built it that it should be making 400 at the crank. and i belive him, ive seen his door slammer he built for drag racing.

Then subtract 20% from what remains for automatic transmission parasitic loss, or 15% for manual trannies.
So if you are making 350 hp, you will make around 320 net. Then subtract 20% of 330 and you = about 260 hp at the rear wheels.
In a thirdgen that would probably put you into the high-13s.
