Default 355 build. How much hp should I get?

I just received my heads back for my build and I am ready to start putting everything back together. I would just like a ballpark figure of how much hp I should be looking at, maybe somebody has a similar setup. So I got a 350 lt1 bored .030 over to 335ci, forged Manley rods and forged JE pistons. Stock compression and stroke. Stock ported heads (by Zekes in mtl), beehive valve springs, 1.65 rr, with gm hotcam 218/228, 525/525, 112 lsa. But supposedly with the 1.65rr, I should have a lobe lift of .540. Heads are shaved a couple thow, they figure with a compression of 10.8:1. With supporting mods, cai, hooker lts, 52mm tb. So does anybody have an idea of what I could be looking at? Thanks!

I would think near or under 375 hp at the flywheel. You have it setup pretty much like a LT4 with the exception of the overbore and they only made 330 Hp. So I'm probably being optimistic with my guess.

I would use the thin .029 Impala gasket for a boost in compession. A 355" with ported heads and a Hotcam, atleast 350 hp to the wheels.

oh, and FWIW, most people still refer to it as a 350 despite being bored.

How many 310's have you heard about which are 305's bored

stock injectors. it was a hotcam setup before but i changed the springs and got bigger rockers and ported the heads. the intake was port matched for a 52mm tb. i will be getting a custom tune. And i was just being specific about the 355 @torque_is_good

As far as changing the emblems on the car, no, people don't usually do that.
As far as describing the engine for what it is, "true numbers" are spoken all the time.
