Unless your heads are listed in the program (and stock LS1, much less ported LS1 heads are not) you need to know the flow rates of the head across the rpm band (and I have that data).
And the peak rpm points are not accurate. Probably because it doesn't take into account the weight of the reciprocating assembly and valve float. So I just go by what the numbers are where I know my engine actually peaks out, at around 6K. And it's much more accurate that way.
I can send it to you if you want...

How did you enter the cam specs (IO/IC, EO/EC) if you didn't have the cam card? Did you just guess?
Also, a friend ran my engine combo for the Chevelle and it was way off and yes he did use the correct flow rates for my Edelbrock Performer RPM heads. Desktop Dyno 2000 showed 737hp@7000 & 650tq@5000. I've run my car on a chassis dyno and it made 461rwhp and 462rwtq. Given a 20% loss that's around 550hp.
If you want to run it and see what yours comes up with, here's the info for my engine:
