I’d say your likely to be in the 500 to 525 hp range running the RAIV cam. A stock RAIV 400 has been dyno tested at 425 hp even though it was rated at 370 by Pontiac. Seriously, a RAIV making only 4 hp more than a 366 hp RAIII D-port engine?

Your good cylinder heads will get you there even without a monster cam. Giving up 50 to maybe 75 hp at the peak that you wouldn’t been using often anyways is a small price to pay for something easier to drive and more reliable.
