How much horse power do you think I will make using my stock 5.0 short block adding Trick flow 170cc heads,stage 1 cam, Roller Rockers, Mac equal length headers,Explorer GT40 intake with 75mm MAF,75mm Throttle body, 24lb injectors,cold air intake. Also it has off road H-pipe and flows.3.73 gears, with a T-5. Just wondering what you all might think it will make. New to the whole injection thing. Thanks for your time.

Sounds like a fun combination. 290hp/325tq is my guestimate

I'm very curious to see what you put down for numbers! my set up is similar, but my 170 cc heads are ported polished and shaved so my compression is 10.75:1 and I have an Edelbrock performer intake. The rest is pretty much the same. It goes like hell but all i got to compare it to is from when it was a 2.3l
