I'm going to be doing CMS stage one cams, HPS Hardballer Intake, LT headers and P&P. Should I be close to 300 rwhp with a 93 oct tune?

i dont think you will hit 300rwhp but you will be around it with a good tune. somewhere in the 290 range. most dont hit 300rwhp until they do heads with a stage 2 cam.

there have been quite a few cam, bolt on cars that have dynoed 300rwhp or higher. Two on the depot with stock, untouched heads and and comp 262's. Good luck, BTW, who is going to port your heads?

do they port them, or do they send the heads off to a local machine shop? Most local performance shops don't port in house, but send there stuff to a machine shop. Id make sure they know what they are doing on a NA 2v head.

i have a friend with custom ground stage one comp cams (better than stage one, not quite a stage 2) and heads with full exhaust, and full bolt ons. he only made 288 rwhp. imo if you cannot do the work yourself, heads and cams are a huge waste of money. for not much more money you can have a blower, or for 1/3 of the cost you could have a full nitrous setup which would give you 400+ rwhp. however, a head/cam 2v does sound f'n sweet. just something to think about, but good luck, i'm jealous.
