Default Estimated gain in this set up?
Ok guy am almost done with the small upgrade any estimates of how much gain will the car have?

Here is my set-up:
*No A/C or Smog pump
*Electric fan
*GT40P Heads
*1.7 Crane cams rockers
*Lower & Upper Explorer intake
*Intake

NOTE: the car is a 5spd.

All inputs are welcome thank you

That would be disappointing and a big waste of time and money.

But then how has some people gotten up to a 25hp gain by just adding the heads?

Here is a link and NOTE: the rockers he is using are the same exact ones am using

if you are on a low budget just do 1.7 roller rockers, degree in your stock cam, get some 4.10 or 4.30 gears and get some suspension(control arms and drag radials). hello neck breaking launches.
