Default Getting the most power with what I have.

I have a 4.8 engine from a 2004 Silverado. I have West Coast performance heads. I have a super Victor intake with the Gen 3 MSD box a 6.0 cam a th350 with a 4000 stall. Is there any info on what kind of numbers I can expect to make or perhaps things I should change around to make more power? These are all items that I am acquired either for extremely cheap or free. I'm looking to build on a budget and stay under $2,000

Tell us about the heads you have. The stock 706/862# heads are best on an otherwise stock 4.8 so unless they have a smaller combustion chamber than 61cc you will lose power over stock. If the 6.0 cam is a factory 1721 cam it will provide a slight bump over stock but it will not provide near the gains of an aftermarket grind

Interesting combo. Tell us more... You have a 4.8 with a supervic. Sounds like you are set up to REV. What's your rear gear?
