"guess the hp"
You should have a MAF and TB to go along with that intake, but Im guessing 260-270/ and 300tq with a 306 and stock ported heads

Thanks for the advice fiveo and folks!'
Mo money ..I know, gotta pay to play! 
As to the valves? It's a basic e7 head on there with stock valves right now. I just figure I'll get new heads in the future. Thanks for playing "guess the HP!" Yep tweecer is good idea. It kind of idles fast when drifting..reminds me of a pig, lol. Oink, oink, oink oink (fast)...then blub blub blub blub (slow at stop)...Oh, and what size throttle body would you suggest? I guess it all depends on the mods..I have heard of a couple of guys on here going to 75mm and saying their car was slower until they put the stock one back on. I dunno their exact specifications though but they had done some work to their cars. I will try to find the tread.
I just don't see how a tb or maf, or tb and maf together is gonna give you anything but a small gain.
I don't know your long term plans but .....
I'd wait until you need larger inj's and do the maf/inj's upgrade all together.
That is my .02 but I have been down that road so to speak.

Yep. That's what I was thinking of doing..maf, tb and injectors at the same time rather than just 2/3. I have a new fuel pump too but haven't installed it yet (155). Grady, you have some real nice gains in your car looks like. Those AFR heads are ls1 killers aren't they.final5-0 said:
Oh, yea and valve springs are shimmed.

I know I'm the lowest guess on your gain and I don't wanna upset you or anything, but with the stock intake, I just don't see how you will have the air flow to support numbers that high. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong
As for the heads ......................
The heads are nice and all but the other parts along with them contribute to what I think is the best part of how things turned out with the combo.
The low end torque
All of my old time gear-head buds have driven the car and they say it reminds them of how a big block pulls from low rpms in 3rd & 4th gear.
Again I firmly believe Ed Curtis is the main reason for the outcome.
I told him I wanted a torque curve that looked like it turned out.
He fussed at me for having the RPM upper, lol.
I had it before I started working with him btw.

That's ok, it is what it is. Sounds from you guys like I am around the 300fwhp mark which is my leasst target range. I think at 293rwhp, you must be pushing over 360fwhp?
Yep, I agree. I like having the low end. That's why I bought the trick flow (idle -->5500rpm). O well, got the intake, now have to get the other parts that go with it. Heads last. If I have the money I will go AFR otherwise thinking alternatives..

I agree without a doubt and you have to admit it ..........................
I've told you so on more than one ocasion.
Your heads were not around when I got mine however.
Again, thanks for the pics ...... great info

I guess I'm getting blind AND forgeting how to read in my old age
I blew right past that and went to the sig
Now that I see you DO have an intake I see why the rest of the guys guess is higher than mine and I've got to agree with their higher numbers.
Sorry about that Senior Moment

Hhaha, no problem Grady. I wasn't sure if you missed it at first. Then I thought you meant the whole inj, TB, MAF, and intake combo.
