Building an engine, how much power?
I am building an 350 motor and I am curious as to how much power it should be making. Can someone do a desktop dyno for me? I have Desktop Dyno but I am not good when it asks me for all the mathematic ****. Here are the specs:
5.7 Liter, 350 SBC (Standard Bore)
Stage 1 ported Vortec heads
Edelbrock Performer RPM Vortec intake
650 Holley Carb
Dynomax Small Tube Shorty Headers
(I don't have a cam yet, what cam will allow me to drive it everyday, yet give me some extra power??? Don't want to change stall if I don't have to.)
100 shot of Nitrous
Thanks! If anyone has some advice on a cam, let me know.

The Comp XE cams seem to match those heads the best of any on the market... the XE268 will give you over 400 HP with them if the rest of the combo is right.
