Default AFR 225 and T-rex combo

this combo and 11.5 CR along with the mods below a water pump, and probably the 1 7/8 headers what kind of RWHP can i look for.

i have never seen any one take this route yet and just real curious what would happer?

I think it may be too much duration unless your trying to turn 7800 rpm, for such an efficient head

I doubt it would run faster with stock heads, but the T-rex was designed for them. I asked this question in the dyno section, got some ballpark answers: https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/274735-anyone-dyno-t-rex-similar-afr-s-yet.html

I got the T-rex b/c I was sticking with the stock heads and wanted to try a big cam. If I was doing heads/cam, right now I'd go with the AFR 225's and call up one of the cam guru's for a custom grind. Maybe have one of the shops hand port the heads, flow em, and grind me something to match the flow #'s and my goals.

I doubt it would run faster... but you may give up lowend and fuel effeciency, basically overall effeciency of the system. Hell easy way, try it, and if you dont liek the results sell the cam and try another. Cam swaps are too easy
