Default Realistic Power?

This winter I am putting the stang away and definently trying to put some more money in it. First off I want to upgrade my heads. I will prolly sell my PI heads first they only have 25k on them. I would like to get a set of Partriot stage 2 and a stage 2 cam. What kind of power would I be looking at then realisticly ?? What else could I do motor wise staying N/A to make more power?

heads and cams, with good suporting mods is good for 300 rwhp all day, i have stock heads with stage one cams and make almost 280 rwhp, but i will say once you manage to make 300, its REALLY an up hill battle to get and more powern/a

If you are already making more that 265..
I wouldnt doubt that you could reach 300 w/o a sweat.

Why sell your heads when you can just get them polished and put in stage II's with the new port job.

Because the cost of shipping them out and porting and polishing might be pricey when i can sell mine and get a set of patriot stage II's for 1250
