I'd hope you got a discount, I almost soiled my hanes when I saw they cost $2250

Honestly, I'd expect around 430-450 rwhp. You've basically got the lightest drivetrain you can get in a truck.

I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm shooting for 420-430 rwhp and 420 rwtq. We'll see how well they work. I should have some great under the curve power as well as screaming top end with these heads. With the new heads I'll be at 10.98:1 compression even with the lq4 shortblock

Running the comp cams simulator, it's looking like 541.6 HP @ 6500 and 484 torque at 5500RPM. Should come right out at 430 RWHP and 410 RWTQ if you subtract 20% drivetrain loss........

I have absolutely zero idea how accurate the dyno simulator is. The peak numbers sound way too high in the powerband to me. I have a hard time believing peak hp is at 6500rpm's and tq at 5500....

Congrats, glad you decided to get them. That was a GOOD deal.
IMHO, your current heads were what was holding you back.
