well you should get near that at least . but dont forget to mill the heads u can hit the 400 with milling , plus you have A4 + 3.73 + stall all these fact of reduceing power on the dyno but in return you will have what you ask for on the street

your local machine shop should be able to mill them for you. i mill job is where they take material off of the decks(bottom of head that contacts the gasket) i would take off .015- .020 thou off or so,i can't remember exactly how many thousandths it takes to remove 1 cc,probably .005-.006 but a .020 shave should get your scr up .4 tenths of a point or so.

There is plently of people getting 400 rwhp w/ the TR224 cam. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them but on the track and street it had real big bite. You can see my times on the 1/8mi. I also had TR224 and 241 heads. I ported and milled them. I milled .035 and never any issue. I used MLS gaskets. I made 360rwhp and 336 rwtq w/ with a unlocked TC. Excellent street cam.
