gearing? tire size at the track? converter stall?

Probably about 340 rwhp with that 305 cam and the TFS heads. You could do 40 more with the right cam, provided your gearing and converter are suited for it.

Edit: I just noticed you have 3.73's

i ran one of their cams with my stock crank/rod 11.2:1 355 with TFS 195's on it and the thing was amazingly strong.......3450lb street car ran 120mph+ trap speeds through a 4000 converter and 4.11's..............

i ran a variation of the 234/242 on their website......call them or email them you WILL NOT be dissaapointed

Yes, AI will definitely get you moving. With a stock bottom and their ported LT1 heads and their "small" 228 duration cam, I've trapped 122 in a 3800 lb car through a 4200 converter. Kind of a similar setup to what quik95lt1 used to run before he went totally crazy

Default Thanks guys

Sent text/called waiting on a response I guess, hope I'm not busy whenever they respond back...anyway thanks guys for your responses! Couple more questions? These are straight out of the box complete. Did u upgrade your valve train components? What were your complete cam specs? Thinking of just either slapping heads on current combo or just installing a off shelf cam/used like gm847. Until next summer then I would probably refresh engine, send heads to be P&P+matched with the AI cam. Any ideas on cost?

Do you have a link to the LT1 "Twisted Wedge" heads?

Those are very very rare and from my understanding were hard on valvetrain and didn't really work well enough to be worth the effort.

Now Trickflow does currently offer GenX heads in a couple sizes and a standard 23degree 195 head, but those aren't "Twisted Wedge".

If you are thinking of redoing it next summer I would use what you have, see how you like it and aim to change it with the rebuild next summer. Basically I am saying why don't you find out what you have and how you like it before changing things.

I have the genx. I figured the wisted wedge was just another fancy name but the same. What are the diff? And what ones are better?

The TFS195 heads for the LT1's are not a twisted wedge. The valves are inline on the same angle.
