I'd expect low-mid 500's at the wheels.

A word of advice though, you are tearing into the engine quite a bit there. What are your goals for the car? If you plan on going Forced Induction at all in the future to go past 700whp, I would suggest getting pistons done at the same time while they are tearing into the motor. A bit more cost now, but will save you time and money later if you are going to get more power in the future.

I've thought about that, but a little limited on what I can spend right now. I'm probably going to go back in to port the heads when I put a pro charger on. I will check and see how much a set of pistons would cost. the connecting rods are forged, but not sure what their limit is hp wise.
