415-430rwhp is my guess, this came doesn't make crazy power w/o A LOT of air (fast 90/90, HV headers, etc...). It sounds great however. You can see my hp. It is without the ported throttle body and underdrive pulley. Also my engine had about 100,000 miles on it. I've seen the cam make 480+rwhp when degreed and top of the line bolt-ons. I wouldn't expect that though
