What was your B@@ST and what size pulley are you running?

Are you running Alcohol Injection?

These would make you go over 600 RWHP just look at my sig and you will see

Thanks,Matt

Your factory heads are great, however a good blower cam along with new dual valvesprings will make a big difference (usually 50+ RWHP on an FI build). Aditionally going one size smaller on the head unit pulley with the cam swap will add even more power without adding much extra cost. However after crossing the 550rwhp range and into the 600rwhp+ range the expense and risk go up with the need for alky and the fact that your stock bottom end is "Living on the Edge"
