TR224 h/c members inside..

Well, since this week I should get my Absolute 5.3 heads from Jay, I was wondering what kind of numbers you guys are putting down with TR224 cams with heads. I put down 386-390 rwhp with cam only. Computer still has not been touched yet. What kind of gains did you guys get with your heads? Here is a pic of my dyno sheet.

450 would be great. 430 more realistic. Anybody else have this setup?

435-450, are you sure? 45-60 HP gain from heads with a 224 cam? OK.

I dunno. I'd be willing to bet 30+ with heads and tuning.

I will pick up a little more since Jay is porting my intake and tb. He is porting the tb out to 78 mm. Also since my last dyno I have also installed a gmmg to go along with my cme tips. Only time will tell.

430rwhp is possible thru a 10 bolt rear w/ 3.42's and a killer tune, but I wouldn't plan on it. 450?.....no way with that cam. I think a 40 hp gain with the heads, intake, TB and tuning is realistic.

I picked up a solid 30 rwhp / 30 rwtq when I added my heads.

See HP #'s and ET's in my sig....
