Hey,

I would probably say about 255-265 Flywheel Hp. I would think about adding new springs to your stock heads so they can handle the lift of the e303 cam. You dont want to go to all that work then get valve float and lose hp.

I did e cam with the intentions of doing heads and intake next. I would say next to nothing except the ability to rev a little higher. I didnt really notice a difference in power at all

I think everybody who asks "how much hp?" should put it together, install it, and then buy a GTech. Then they would have a fairly accurate answer and we wouldn't have to see another vanilla post asking about how many hp a flowmaster sticker is worth.

I'm just sayin.....I don't hate or discriminate....
