How much more power can i expect...

So I have decided to take my chances and build up my L03 in my Camaro, here are the plans i have for it....

-Edelbrock Performer intake manifold for TBI
-Comp cam (480/488, 258,264 dur; 112 sep)
+Valve springs roller lifters, and timing chain
-Rear end swap to posi with 3.73 ratio
-Hedman shorty headers with y-pipe

*Just installed a flowmaster american thunder 3" system so thats all set up.

Also have some cosmetic beautification plans too, but those can wait.

So what do you think about these plans? Anything I should remove, add, or stuff I should do during all the upgrades to make sure I can get all the power I can out of them? How much horsepower do you think I could expect from my plans?

Also if there is anything I need to do to make the parts work properly on my car please let me know so I don't f**k up my Camaro. Thanks a ton.

FOR THE THIRDGEN ARMY!

Re: How much more power can i expect...

Should give you a pretty good boost in power. The only real problem you might have is the TBI (LO3) computer doesn't handle cam upgrades too well with the stock tune. Might want to post your combo on the TBI board and see what the experts on that forum say about needing a retune on your computer or not.
