Default ms4 cam power numbers?

hey guys im new to this board. i just bought a 98 ss with 60000 miles for dirt cheap. ive had the car a little over a week and done the following to it:

ms4 cam, springs, pushrods
ls6 intake, ls6 coolant rails or w/e they're called, and ls6 oil pump
ported tb and maf
tb coolant mod and ls6 cooling
ls7 clutch with drill mod
pacesetter long tubes
3 inch x pipe with borla xr1's

im having the car tuned at the end of the week at livernois motorsports local here and was wondering what kind of numbers i might see on their dynojet?

also winter plans include a set of 243's or tfs'

Close to 400rwhp I would guess, the heads will hold you back as we 98's have the 806's but you should still be around 400rwhp very easily!

x2, if you search for "MS4 DYNO" You will find quite a few threads to verify this!

Wouldn't know haha, I got these off a member on here from when he bought them off a sale from katech. They were brand new in the box still but I think he mentioned at one time they were like $500 or maybe $700? I paid $350 for these, they're bare heads though so im not sure what they charge. You could ask katech on the forums here, there a sponsor.

Don't even worry about VC's and coil brackets because they are cheap. I got my VC's for $50 on here and took me 30 minutes max to sandblast the red paint off them. I can't remember my coil brackets but it was peanuts too... abut unless you go to 243's or better a head change is not worth it IMO....

That would be the case I was thinking but I went with ported 806's because it would offer the same gains if not more as what the 243's do. Only difference is It only cost me $350 and I kept my VC's and coil packets so I didn't have to go looking for them like I would with the 243's.

good deal...i see that katech still offers the p/p 806's for 500 a head until they run out of them. definately not worth buying new for the price of a set of used 243's. also is there anything i need to look out for with 243's and ptv. ive heard a few things about longer valves off sum cars but not others. thx

Hes asking what HE thinks hell put down. those links dont have the mods he has, we have the 806 casting heads dont forget. Ported heads are ported heads, regular 806 heads arent that great but you should still hit around or over 400rwhp with that cam.
