what should i expect

i have a 1989 Iroc w/ 305 tpi


Gm's mr. peanut(current)
Duration @ 0.050 (I/E): 179/194
Lift, (I/E): .350"/.384"
Lobe Separation: 109

Ram Jet cam

Lift, (I/E): .431"/.451"
Lobe Separation: 109
RPM Range: 800-4500
Type: Hydraulic Roller

i'm also looking at
LT4 springs w/ retainers and locks $55+s/h
Federal Mogul 1.6 Ratio Stamped rocker arms $64+s/h
Ram Jet cam( look above for specs) $135+s/h
Timing Chain Kit,Single Roller Design $50+s/h
Holley AFPR $80 + s/h


i don't want to replace the current tq. conveter(stock) and i don't want to mod the ecm because i'm a student and don't have the cash. to be honest, plus i don't plan on doing this cam swap until beginning of june.

I wanna know if you guys have seen better prices on these products.

I want to know what you guys think i will gain out of THESE upgrades, i need input on them. i don't want you guys to tell me to get more of a radical cam or what eva.

i've reseached a whole lot, and have chosen these cauze of drivablitly. both of my parnets dive this car on occasion, and i on't want my mom to run her in a telephone pole cause she lost control.(shes done it before with a few cars)

Any help on what i should be expecting would be more than greatful- Thanks again- Jonathan

yes the heads are stock, but when i have to rebiuld the motor i plan on havung them worked(ported .1oversize valves and milled for extra compression)
I would be really happy with a 14.0 run

i'm also gonna port my plenum and get headers of some sort(what eva comes my way when i get the cash)

with these mods i hope to get a 13sec pass in there and or/ a 260fwhp, currently at 201rwhp for a est 233fwhp.
this is what i'm hoping for.. we will wait and see, or at least i will

i'm hoping for 14.30's with this combo and 14.10's with the headers and ported plenum and cat delete and 13.999 with my heads worked and runners
