Depending on what supporting mods you have, you should have no problems with a decent tune getting 420-440rwhp.. What are your plans/expectations for the car? You will lose some drivability with that setup..

2300-6700 RPM Power Band with a peak around 6400rpm; This is an excellent performance camshaft with a rough idle!

Even with an awesome tuner, you will lose drivability at low RPMs. EX: Cruise control at 75MPH in 6th gear..

With your car not being a DD, I wouldn't worry too much about it..

You and that cam will not be happy campers unless you run 4.10 gears with it...
