I would see where an Underdrive pulley and a FAST 90/90 would get you first before I bought heads. Those might get you exactly around where you want to be.

I would say swap the cam or put a set of heads on it. My G5x3 cam only car is putting down 410 right now with about the same mods, but I do have a pulley.

Dyno it on a higher reading dyno! Lmao I did 445 on a Dyno Dynamics @ 100 degrees ambient and 398 on a Mustang Dyno @ 65 degrees ambient. Whp is grossly overrated...

I would not go through all the trouble of swapping out the cam and waste the time and money you spent on the original cam and install.

A fast intake will get you there, a set of 243s will get you there...all of which will be cheaper and not replicate the work already done on your car.

I would do a ud pulley and a P&P throttle body, that would probable get you there and also go to the dyno on a colder day
