Default What kind of power?

Im not sure if this is the right section.

Anyway I was wondering if anybody is running this cam

232/234 .595/.598 112+2 xfi

and what kind of power they are making?
I was told it made about 430 rwhp in a heads/cam car.

I also have ported throttle body, ported heads, bigger injectors and rails, 3.73's.

Any input would be apprieciated.

The heads will limit output of course if you had ray charles port you a set, but yes, with a decent set of cylinder heads and a tune, 430rwhp is achievable with that camshaft.

with GOOD heads you couldprobably push nearly 450rwhp

but with cheapo heads i think your 430hp number is right

also headers and other simple bolt ons play a factor in this as well.

I made 425 hp. You could make more than that with better heads and a better intake than I have.
