What gains should I expect?

I am going to put on headers (pacesetters will be ordered next week) w/off road y pipe then install a cam then get head work. I will be doing this in three different steps to see what horse gains each has added. I know seperately they will give less gains but together each will give more. What do you guys think I will get with the TR224i/224e 114lsi, coated pacesetters and a bowl job on the heads. I've been to a dyno like 3 times and I consistently get 312 to 315rwhp horses. I think in total with everything done I should get an additional 60 to 90 horses...90 maybe pushing it even with tuning. I want to hear from the experts out there or those of you with a similar setup as to what you guys know and experienced. I've had my car for little over a year now and now since I know I am going to keep it want to add more horsepower.

realistic, 60 sounds about right for ported heads and cam and headers. Mybe a little more maybe alittle less.

Most people are seeing 370 to 380 rwhp with that cam, headers and tuning only. Thats without any headwork. With that setup and stage 2 ported heads they are seeing 410 to 420 rwhp. If you are only doing a mild port job my guess would be 390 to 400 rwhp if tuned properly.

Good luck,

Al

I think I may just do a bowl job on the heads and get the lsx intake. I'm am getting excited about this project. I know I need to get nitrous cam tho.
