Default Think it will make 400hp

Blew up my stock bottom end, so I went with a TSP 408 LQ9. Staying with stock top end with a 228r cam because of stock heads. So cam only 408 with 241's, will it hit 400rwhp?

Never seen a 408 with a cam that small and stock heads. It should be very close depending on the dyno. Torque should be awesome though

Car isn't ready for big cam and heads. Stock tranny and rear end. Blew up on third pass after I bought it. Getting TSP giant cam and heads once it's ready. Just trying to get it back on the road for now.

Makes sense. What heads are you looking at?

Not sure why it is not ready for big heads and cam...Torque is what breaks parts not HP. Heat is also a killer for the trans. Anyway it should end up being solid build...I would say you are close to 400whp with the current setup, but the car is probably a tad slower from the added weight.
