Default What do I need to know? Going to Agostino Stage III Heads & G5X3 Cam

I have a line on some Agostino Stage III's

2.08/1.60 valves flow numbers

lift Int Exh
100 79 66
200 142 128
300 209 162
400 251 199
500 287 222
550 298 228
600 311 231

these are with 941 springs. Also a g5x3 cam. What do I need to know in order to make this switch? I currently have:

mms stage I heads
mti c1 hammer cam
918 springs
7.35" Chromoly pushrods

Additionally, how much more power should I make over my current setup? I am assuming since I have all the boltons I should have about 380-390 rwhp

Thanks in advanced!

Get rid of the 918's and go Crane duals...
Thats a big cam and I'd feel safer w/the dual springs,other than that a timing chain,oil pump,gaskets and a retune and its done.I'd opt for a LSX/90 if u have the coin as that head/cam setup wil love it.

Should make good power...

Stock bore? If so, probably one of two things is going to happen. Either you will be way down on power or you will not have enough P to V clearance, both due to the large intake valve. The 2.08 is going to be shrouded in the cylinder, and going to hurt airflow.

As long as u notch the pistons u will be fine.
Spanky is right,you'll give up alitte with those big heads but it'll still make good power.

Now u wanna do something trick,just pull YOUR heads and notch the pistons,add the MS3 cam to your setup w/the LSX/90.I bet it makes KILLER power and u wont have to spend $$$ on the S3 heads.
