Default Numbers question

I am freshening up my base model 03 due to a few lifters craping out on me and messing up my cam. Now my question is this: I have a set of TFS 215cc heads, 92/92 fast, full exhaust, and soon to have a whiplash II from EG. Is 470-ish horse power to the wheels possible? If so will i need a set of injectors to reach that? I'd like a decent torque number as well, 430-ish maybe, but with my 4.10 rearend gear, that's more or less not an issue.

I bought my car with a list of mods done and I'm thinkin I may have upgraded injectors, how big I have no idea. But how will I know which ones I have? How will I be able to tell/identify the differences? I know for sure I have stock fuel rails. Before the lifter problem the car made 426/411 to the wheels.

I have EGs whiplash cam and the following mods:

Stainless WORKS complete 1 3/4" primary header system 3" midpipe /X pipe with the 3" mufflers, 42 lb/hr injectors, Home ported FAST90 and ported 90mm TB, VARARAM, Patriot Stage 2 heads with Ti retainers and gold springs, Caddy Racing Lifters, and the EG Tune.

I made 450 RWHP on the Back Street portable dyno at The Cruise in in Bowling Green

I don't know anything about that cam, but with TFS 215 heads and a FAST 92, 470whp is definately achievable.

Nice sound. Is that the whiplash or whiplashII? What's the difference in your heads and the ones I have? Other than the heads and my 92mm setup that's a clone of what I have...

Well, just odered some FAST 36lb injectors. After talking with Hinson supercars and Stephen from EG I'm hoping they'll work out great!!! I hate this waiting game!

I'm hoping for 470-ish but after looking around and doing some research I'll probably be closer to 450-ish due to idle and drivability. Kinda bummed but stil excited to add 30hp to my ride!
