My cousin is a chevy pushrod guy, but we're going to figure this out and do it!
I guess that would be about right assuming the cams would give you about 15hp at the fly. I would have expected the swap alone to get 47rwhp(55fly) and 60rwhp (70fly) combined w/ the cams. Stock is about 190 rwhp so that would be 250 but I would expect at least 20 more with the tune. What kind of bolt ons do you have? Exhaust?SR 97 GT said:Well since I had the cams and heads installed at the same time I don't know how much they made over the just the headswap. I did have it dyno tuned for $500 and she made 234 RWHP through my automatic but there were problems getting fuel so those numbers are low. I am going back in to have it re-tuned and hope to be somewhere around 250+.

I found out that they were delivered by the tracking number that night and had to go door to door at midnight in the rain. GO FED EX.
Just about every bolt on in the book...flowmaster catback, x pipe w/ cats, u/d pullies, c&l plenum, 75mm throttle body, and a k&n fipk. Those mods got me 191 RWHP prior to the swap. Since the headswap I've added a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and pro-m 87mm MAF.stimmler said:I guess that would be about right assuming the cams would give you about 15hp at the fly.
