I'm going to say no. Cam only numbers are low, and there's no way that head gives you almost 60hp. I'd change the cam, the heads, AND the headers.

its very possible but depends on your other boltons on my old setup i made just under 430 h with stock 243 castings and the v2 try and get your compression up as much as possible that will help

LOL TRUE

Realistically 415ish with what your currently putting down.

Just worry about track #'ers.

Very possible with a good tune and those heads.

What dyno was the cam only numbers on?

Add the heads, A FAST 90/90 setup and a better exhaust and you should break the 440RWHP mark Easily

your dyno #s seem low with the cam
how is the tune and is everything else working optimally
tsp's website says up to 50hp can be had with the heads because of the better flow and higher compression
I would throw the heads on and look over the tune and the rest of the car and go from there hows your fuel system

i put down 425 at the tire with my setup. With a fast 90/90 and a cutout I think I would be near the 440 mark.

agree with the 90/90 setup. with tea ported 5.3s, 228r and a stock 90/90 setup i put down 436. cam only was low 38x so your car is low on power imo also for a cam that big.

I'd say yes. Your current numbers are close to mine and I have a mild factory set up. Also before LT's and the car is still untuned. With a bigger cam I'd probably lay down better numbers, but I enjoy the driveabilty right now. Its all about the right combo. I've seen guys put down 410 - 420 with just LT's, Cam, and a good tune.

With the correct supporting mods i.e. a FAST intake, UD Pulley, free-flowing exhaust, etc. you have a shot at it. The heads will pick up 40-45 RWHP from just bolting them on. With the rest of the supporting mods, you can pick up the extra 60 RWHP you are needing to meet your goal. I would go ahead and throw on a .045" Cometic head gasket when doing the swap. The heads are a good start but the little things are what really help any setup reach it's full potential! Let me know if you have any questions!
