I can't answer that question. Way too many variables.

At least Mid to high 11's with a sticky tire and stall.

Valve springs and pushrods. You can use it with stock manifolds, stock y-pipe, stock muffler, etc. A lid, ported throttle body, etc. will all help you generate more power, but I guess are not 100% needed. They do however make perfect sense if you're adding a cam, but the cam would show more of a hp gain by itself than all the rest of those bolt-on modifications. Then, once you finally do start doing the boltons, your car should respond VERY well to them.

I've heard two CheaTR cam'd cars and they essentially still sound stock. So, you'd have a really good sleeper car.
