How much power?
OK, so I am finished with my 5.0 to the 5.7 swap with rear axle swap as well. All running pretty smoothly, but I am wondering, how much horse power is capable from this motor leaving it as a TPI set up with out adding Nitrous and staying normally aspirated? Any ideas?
Any recommendations as to what my next modification should be?
Thanks all!!

Re: How much power?
There are several here that have dyno sheets for 400 HP w/LTR's at the flywheel but it appears to be a lot of work/money. Headers/exhaust, heads, cam, intake, in that order. And, a razor sharp tune. Unless you're going racing, don't be too concerned with horsepower numbers. Enjoy the torque of a TPI on the street.

OK, so my blonde is going to show on this one, but what is AFPR? and any recommendations for exhaust/cam/head combo's...there are just so many of them and I am not made out of money to just start trying stuff. which i am sure most of us aren't.
