l92 416 ($5000)
225 heads (ET,TF,OR AFR Flip a coin it is honestly that close) =$2500
Ported fast 90/90 =$1200
Other internal parts=$2000
1 7/8 primary headers= $1000 (The only reason it is this high is to allow money to modify them as needed to clear everything)
You can pick up a pretty good used built t-56 for $2k or less.
Depending on the cam with this combo, you can go from 500 rwhp to 535 rwhp with ease. Possibly even higher if you want.Good luck
