NO! You bettere get a good porter for the heads or better yet a set of AFR 205's would be the way to go. I had a set and gained 47hp on a mustang dyno. your cam is wimpy,real wimpy. If you want more power go with a 228/232 112 or a 232/236 112,with a tune it will drive around town great. With the stock ported heads and wimpy cam you want,I'd say you will hit 370ish hp on a dynojet and350hp on a stang dyno.

Told you Rob. You can not hit 400 on that. The heads being ported mean jack ****, because the intake won't flow them. And you have a relatively baby cam, so it's not doing too much grunt work. HP numbers are useless though, that cam will give you a nice looking curve, you'll have a nice street car.
