I just want a Solid 450hp-500hp which shouldnt be a problem with my setup.

I also started to figure out exactly what I have for parts. The roller rockers are not Comp Cams rollers, they are Harland Sharp 1.7 ratio rollers, which is fine they are just as nice as the Comp cams. The cam is out of a Gen4 engine so if I want to use it I need to pick up a LS2 timing cover and cam sensor. Which I believe I will use as my new timing chain setup is made for it and it is the correct specs for my boosted build.

I was wondering about that I must've been thinking about a V6 Ford motor instead. Sometimes the details on the stock specs can get a little obscuded if you know what I mean. Harland Sharp 1.7 rockers are extremely good and reliable. I've used them in the past myself along with tons of Jesel's products. 450 to 500 horsepower and roughly about the same in torque would be all you'd need which is what I have to calm alot of people down to when doing a similar swap on another vehicle. They usually want more than that when it's nothing but over kill and they end up defeating the purpose along the way.
