I was wondering how much rwhp will heads and a ported tb will give me? my current mods 2xcam,kooks 1 3/4 headers, hi flo cats, x pipe, corsa sports, varram and spacer, ud pully, and a 160 stat. My current rwhp is 430 and my tq is 391. after doing the tb and heads how much rwhp and tq should i be at?

I have almost the exact same setup as you only with the ported TB. I dyno'd 415rwhp 380rwtq. I'm slightly lower than you most likely due to my 4.10 gears. The ported TB wont give you much gains 5-8 seems to be the consensus. The real gains will be from the heads. I'd lean more towards porting the intake along with the heads. Depending on your selection you'll probably see between 450-480rwhp. Call Cartek they'll explain their set ups and give you the best advice to meet your goals.

Ported heads will definitely give you 20 to 30 extra rwhp.
