I think you're gonna need more compression...

Most with the big numbers on the 402/408 are running 11.5-12:1....

The TFS heads "should" help you attain your number but I would be concerned with the area under curve as well as peak thus getting the car out of the hole.

I would just work the SCR/DCR up in conjunction with the cam and make that #!

Good luck!

That depends on your DCR and not as much on SCR

I run 11.1 and a 250/640 cam and love the power. Under the curve is badass!

246/254 .625+/.625+ 114+? is what you should be looking at.
