The cam is a 230/230/112 comp cam.
Other go fast bolt ons is a mti lid and k&n.
And i was suprised with the low end improvement. Pulls much harder down low.

Almost a 50 HP gain is awesome, but the 50 ft/lbs of TQ is REALLY awesome.
The car must feel like a beast compared to before the swap....also, your just looking at "peak" gains....I bet the average TQ and HP is up even more....get to the track....it should post much stronger numbers in good air.
Glad your pleased with the results...

PS....Can anyone post an overlay of the two power curves?....that would be good to see.

I would have liked to have seen what the power gains were from just the heads alone.
I'm sure upgrading to better headers and removing your cats were good for up to 10rwhp/15rwtq or so.
Still at least 35rwhp/35rwtq from heads is nothing to sneeze at

Certainly, the other changes had a positive impact on power and all of the gains are NOT attributed to the cylinder heads, but in this particular case, it seems the AFR's really woke this combination up.
