    Swapped heads cam exhaust - how much power

    OK. Just did a cam head intake and full
    exhaust job. How much power do you estimate? I have nothing to compare it to so no way of knowing until I get it on a dyno. I thought I might be able to roast the tires from a slight roll, but to no avail. Maybe I was expecting too much. Does run good. Lot better pull through the entire rpm range. Its definately faster, but I can't tell if its 40 hp more or 100hp more. Here's the specs and I'm still tuning it and have a wideband too. So any tuning suggestions are welcome too.

    94 k1500 ECSB 5.7 stock bottom end.
    hedman lt headers
    2 1/2" duals with x pipe and cherry bomb turbo style mufflers
    212intake/218exhaust @.50 with 480/490 lift roller cam and matching valve springs
    906 vortec heads machined for higher lift with a quench of .040-.045
    victor jr 2 bbl intake
    3" open element on stock tbi with 61lb injectors with ultimate tbi mods
    13.5 lbs fuel pressure with a new tpi fuel pump

    I was expecting to run out of fuel at high rpms, but the injector duty cycle never got over 50%. Makes me wonder if I'm not getting all the power? Or is it because the intake is a single plane and can draw from both injectors?

    Thanks,
