I have 590 hp and 600 torque in a street Trans am and I run KRE d port heads with 1-3/4 headers, 3" exhaust. 5 speed TKO-600 and the 246/252 cam from Dave. It's a blast. I spin it to 6000 no problem at times. But I run the Solid Crower lifters on a Hydraulic cam. It has tons of torque down low.

I'm not knocking your setup at all, just thinking your leaving lots on the table with those heads. It still will be a fun street car. Other on the board have lots of experience and will sure to chime in..
