Cool Will this be enough?

Hey guys, I am looking for 400+ RWHP and close to the same for TQ. My goal is 420's - 450's on engine, with 410 - 450+ TQ. I knw down the road when I do a 383 motor no prob, but what about with my regular LT1?

This is what I am looking at so far.

AFR 195 (LT4) Heads
Ported to match (LT4) Intake
Custom Grind Cam (maybe similer to the CC306 cam)
255 liter Fuel Pump
30 lb. Ford Injectors
Aeromotive AFR
58mm Holley T-Body
Comp R Lifters
AFR Hydra-Rev Kit (for extra insurance)
Chormoly Push-Rods
GM (LT4) 1.6 Roller Rockers
Delteq Coil Ignition set-up or Direct Hits Coil Ignition
Custom Computer Tuning

I think that's about it. I may have forgot something. Do you all think this will come close to me goal?

Yeah that is the LT4 Converstion, which is rated at fly wheel HP. But it will make around 380 RWHP untouched with tuning.

I promise it wont make 380 rwhp or anything near that you can safely say 320-330rwhp but not 380 hell everyone would have that setup most likly

Umm dude, no offense, I would make 340 RWHP with just the LT4 HotCam kit and Tuning. But I was not looking at the LT4 Kit. I was just giving info to Tally. Thanks thou.

the LT4 kit says 425+ HP, but that's with all kinds of bolt ons. as for your setup, i didn't see headers in there or any exhaust work. they're kind of a given when you port the heads. if you want that much power you'll probably want to replace most of your parts with forged parts so you won't be picking them out of your engine piece by piece later. forged is also very useful for spray, and that'll definitely get you into the 450RWHP range

Thanks for the reply, I also already have JetHot LT's, X-pipe, and Bullet mufflers. So the exhaust isn't going to be a problem. I plan on going forged internals in the future, just not right now. I am trying to get everything power adding right now and also finish up my suspension before I rebuild the motor. So that way I can do it all at one time.

Does anyone else think these will get me in the power range I am looking for?
