i was curious as to what kinda power i can expect to have out of my engine? iam running a 355 with vortec heads, rpm air gap intake rpm performer cam .488 intake and .510 exhaust and a 600 holley for the street but 750 for the track i also have a set of long tube headers

SBC, Forged internals, 215cc aluminum heads, 90mm TB, .589/.612 lift cam, Long tube headers, 3.5" exhaust. 9" Procharger. Powered by Holley HP EFI
Hopefully the Vortec heads have been modified to handle that lift. Stock Vortec heads with that much lift - not a pretty picture.
I'd guess, depending upon the duration of the cam, that you're going to be significantly above 300 HP, probably closer to 375. But, that's really a WAG at best.
i am not sure which duration you are asking but i belive it was 254 at .050 and 300 something at .6 i think not to sure the heads have been machined for the cam new retainers and springs i agree on the 375 atleast i read a article at popular hot rodding they had about the same set up and made 422 horse. i just ask becasue i wanted a response from someone running the same setup
254? I don't think it's that high... I think it's like 244*.050 or so... The edelbrock RPM cam.
Not a great cam, but should work pretty well in that setup.
With the long tube headers and the holley 750, i'd say 380HP ish.
