Default Getting Anxious

I'm putting a Cartek Stage 2X Heads and Cam package on my car in a couple weeks and I'm just wondering what people with similar setups are putting for track times and hp/tq numbers.

Feel free to estimate at what I might make too.
Cam specs:
224/228, 114 LSA, .590 lift
Heads specs:
2.02 Intake, 1.57 Exhaust
Milled .030

There's more done to the heads but the website won't let me copy and paste and i'm to lazy to write it

Since you're running an automatic, you'll probably be between 390-410 rwhp with your converter locked.

So i'm only going to see ~75 rwhp? I don't get that.....it's not like i'm using so half assed redone heads. Cartek's heads are just as good as, if not better than AFR's.

I'm sorry, I never saw you post the power that you're making now. I also didn't see you post anything about running a ported TB or an underdrive pulley. If you have those already, then a 75 rwhp gain is about right for an automatic. If you plan on adding those with your heads and cam, then you will probably be closer to the 410+ end of the spectrum.

Also, I wouldn't too fast to proclaim the Cartek heads as superior to the AFRs. Too many people putting up excellent numbers with the AFRs to say they take a back seat to anyone else's heads.

I have that cam and it dynod 383/363 with no bolt-on's with a 3200 vig. I added an ASP Pulley and the Car posted 12.2's at track. With 1 more bolt-on(BGRA) ran 11.9's and 12.0's. No dyno numbers of current set up, but I'm guessing 405 RWHP due to the full weight and trap of 113.(ET to Hp Calculator)
So my quess is 420-435 RWHP on the low-end, post up your results after install. My baby is getting AFR's on saturday

I'm not saying that AFRs take a back seat to anyone, but the fact is is that Cartek has been in the game longer. I know AFRs are great heads, and if they had a head/cam package that's most likely what I would be going with, but they don't. Cartek does, and it makes numbers. I haven't had the car dynoed since the bolt ons, but from my 1/4 time/trap i'm guessing i'm ~315 hp to the wheels. Basically i'm looking for ~420 hp to the wheels when i'm done, but all I can do is wait. I'll post up #'s when I get em.
