power? not much, you arent really changing much.

4.10 gears, plenty of people switch to 4.10's, but with having 3.73's already you dont stand to gain much for the 1/4.

Thinner head gaskets, that depends on your PTV clearance, and the very small bump in compression would hardly be noticeable.

If anything you may have a wash for dyno numbers because the 4.10's arent very dyno friendly, yet they will help you with the 1/4, but still not by much.

That's a big cam for stock cubes. It will be a top end monster but a slug down low. Heads and cam can net you close to 75-100 up when set up properly. Why did you choose this cam? What are your driveability goals? Also, what clutch do you currently have?

Just be prepared to do a lot of measuring and fly cutting with that set up. You'll have some clearance issues.

ohh I thought you had all this already and the things I had listed were gonna be your only changes.


if youre adding the heads and cam and have all those bolt ons you should expect a very healthy gain, im thinking you can make in the area of 450rwhp

but those donkey dick cams arent the way to go. sure they make high end power, BUT all that area under the curve and below peak is where the smaller cams are gonna be rowing by you until youre way up in thats weet spot and youre playing catch up.

These motors dont need huge cams to make good numbers and run a even better et
