Default any HP estimates on my set up?

hi i have a 2001 camaro ss with an slp lid borla catback and edelbrock panhard bar/control arms, very soon i will be putting all of the below in my car and was wondering if any expirenced ls1 owners could give me a basic HP range ill be looking at with the list of parts below. thanks not looking for specific lol i know thats impossible to knwo till dyno but a basic range guess

SLP lid
85 mm ported/polished throttle body
BBK SSi intake with 85mm inlet
thunder racing camshaft 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA 1700-6500 RPM band
(new stronger valve springs and pushrods to match cam)
hedman long tube headers
bbk underdrive pulleys
comp cams roller rockers 1.7 ratio
borla 3'' catback exhaust

so what do yall think had a budget of 1600 and think i did a nice job putting some things together. later will do gears anything else yall might think would go well with this setup?

I would guess around 330 give or take a few. I would say a good dyno tune would be a great investment and allow you to take full advantage of the new cam and extra air flow.

I can not stress enough, TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE!!!! You MUST get a tune if you plan on getting full advantage of all these upgrades.

390-low 400's at the wheels. I was talking to Kal recently about the TR224 and he has seen them put down close to 400 at the wheels without ported heads or an intake larger than the LS6.

The TR224 adds almost 100RWHP? I imagine that this was done to an engine with bolt-ons?

you will pretty much always need full bolt ons for a cam. you could bump it up to closer 450whp with better heads I believe.

I didn't think that a mild cam like that would give that much gains.

I can see it doing that alright, will full bolt ons you should be a bit over 400 hp at the crank, the cam itself might net you another 20-30 maybe? I believe Specter had a cam with similar specs as the TR224 and had good results with it.

I dont know about 400. I think with a tune and the mods listed above he might get 360 at the wheels give or take. 400 with that mild of a cam and with out any head work sounds a little bit high. I mean cams do great things for our cars but all the other mods might make 30 horses at the wheels. I dont think the cam by its self is going to pick up 70 hp or even 50 for that matter.
