I am new to posting. Havent done a whole lot because the car is coming along ver, very slow. I am getting closer to a complete car. I will get the car dynoed by the first or second week on june (I hope). Any educated quesses on power?

350 bored .30 over
eagle 383 forged kit
lt4 hot cam
comp lifters
comp aluminum 1.6 roller rockers
stock vortec heads modified for .525 lift
quick fuel 750cfm carb

Havent seen the motor yet. A buudies cousin works in the family machine shop and hes doing off the books so dad wont know, so it's taking a little longer than I hoped.

Why might the headers hurt this combo? I am new to all this so sorry for the questions.
