How much more HP can I squeeze?

OK mods are below...I'm dyno'ing again soon and wondering what I'll pull. On my last dyno I only went to like 5600 RPMs and I guess my power band goes up with the new cam? So I'm gonna go up to 6200 or so, and I'm hoping for maybe an extra 5 HP? Also I'm adding the airfoil and my cutout will be open this time...how much should that give me? 10 or so for both? Also I'm hoping (I'm using those words a lot...) that I'm getting some knock and my KM will give me an extra 1 or 2....So could I pull around 320 or so?

Then my heads are getting off and I'm putting in bigger valves, P&P and Pcmforless....will all this be good for 40 HP or so? When all if said and done, is 360 a good estimate?

the km does not add horsepower. it only retards timing and gives you horsepower back that you already had but lost because of engine noise. but if you are not geting false knock than your not going to gain anything.

40 hp from a good head port (Lloyd was good #'s) and a pcm tune is possible. You may even get a bit more, depends on how good of tune you have now.

I know, but I was saying I might get it on the dyno....same thing as an exhaust....it doesn't *add* HP per say, juts frees up HP that the stock exhaust restricts you from getting.......

With your setup, you should have at least 320 HP. And, yes, go all the way up to 6200. When I dynoed the first time, the guy stopped at 5400 and I only got 299.8 HP.

I know...my cutout was closed and I should've dyno'ed higher.....oh well, live and learn!
