The magic mark is 333 rwhp. That is 400 horsepower at the crank. :D Seriously though, I am praying for between 380-400 horsepower, and much more torque.

Nice! 333 would be a nice ~125 or so increase for you right?

I degreed the cam I put in last night, and I don't see how it can be done with the engine in the car unless you have a very small degree wheel!! I used a friends wheel that has about an 18-20" diameter. I left the digi-cam over his place, I can post pics later if anyone is interested.

Scott, not quite yet! The heads took a little longer than expected, but from the looks of them they were worth the wait! The engine goes back in this weekend, exhaust will be welded up on Monday and Tuesday everything should be in order and running. Then I leave for Boston on Thursday...so the car should be done just in time for a roadtrip!
