im gonna say around 340-360 rwhp. What valvesprings are on the car? That is where alot of power is gained or lost IMO. Its an area that is looked over often times when people use an off the shelf cam, including myself in the past.

The headers are really going to kill power. Id say go with at least 1 3/4" but if you ever plan on spraying, go with a 1 7/8" The last thing you want to do is hold back the exhaust flow in a nitrous motor. I gained at least 30rwhp going from 1 5/8 headers to 1 7/8''
 
Wow, guess I should look into some different headers. 30rwhp is a lot to miss out on because of some headers. Can't remember what valve springs off the top of my head. I'll take a look at the build specs and see what they are. Thanks for the input

The valvesprings should be matched to the cam and installed at a specific height to deliver the correct pressure. You could remove one from the engine, measure the installed height and bring it to a machine shop and they will tell you what the pressure is.
