I wont be doing spray, but you sure have some nice numbers
Im not expecting more that 420 RWHP no matter which heads I choice. After all it's only the TR224. That's why im looking to be more at 410 RWHP

See my sig. I feel I have more HP/TQ with new headers/exhaust setup and maybe a 90 mm intake setup. Torque curve is almost flat thru the whole RPM range. Count me in as one satisfied AFR customer.

I would have thought you'd have better numbers with that cam. Im expecting to be there with the Tr224 and your can is slightly larger

I think with something like a Kooks or SuperMaxx setup, some more tuning, I can coax it up to 430/400. In a year or so, I'm shaving the heads another .016 and going with a G5X-3 cam. For now, I'm very satisfied and don't have the cash to chase 20 more HP/TQ.
