I know this has probably been asked a bunch before but I didn't have much luck searching, I want to start the winter off with getting a set of decent heads, I found a pair of TFS 170's for $800. I have a Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake already on there and haven't decided on a cam yet. I'm looking to get 450rwhp with a blower out of this. How realistic is this goal?

Thanks

The heads won't stop you. Depending on the complete setup you should be able to get there with around 8-12#boost.

Your setup is exactly what I'm eventually aiming for. May I ask if you had the 170's before you installed the blower? I'd like some feedback on the heads' performance on an NA 302.

With a good dyno tune you should get in the ball park of that number.

Let me know if he doesn't. I have some that I might be parting with.
