Before the longtubes it made Peak torque at 2400RPM.

Not based off what carcrazygts2 said, if you can get it done for about the same price as he can then that would be less since you already have the factory PI heads

Actually paid $600 for port work and the 3 angle high flow valve job. The Ferrea Stainless intake valves and Ferrea sdium filled exhaust valves, SHM custom PAC springs, retainers, locks, cleaning, and final assemebly was $400. Lash adjusters were also replaced. They heads came to me ready to put on. So if you think about it its really a not that bad. I take a seasoned head over a new head anyday of the week.

You may have to dig into your trans too. The 4.6 trans wont like the sc 5.4 for very long.
