What do you think of my setup...

I want to squeeze as much HP out of this 350... what else can I do...? ( BTW, this is a daily driver )

And here's the list:

• 2-bolt 350 (0.020 over)
• 10.2 compression (with 64cc heads) hypereutectic pistons
• Trick Flow 23 degrees aluminium heads (64cc - CNC ported)
• Cam: 216/228 @ 0.50 - Lift 0.454/0.480
• 600 CFM Edelbrock performer carb...
• Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold
• Hooker super competition headers with hooker cat-back...

Hmmm... did I miss anything?

Anyways... Desktop Dyno says I'll get 423 ft/lb of peak torque and 395 peak HP... with a very flat torque curve... I figured there has got to be a way to get more out of this engine... any ideas?

I'd get a 650 or 670 carb.

Also, what cam is that?

Why, .020 over and not .030 over?

Also , I'd get the Weiand Stealth $20 cheaper and wider power band. idle-6800 rpms.
It's $100 in Summit.

Copy what www.enginefactory.com does to some of their 350's. You can get to 445HP and 425TQ with some of their setups.

Already have the carb

The cam is the PowerMax 2050 (http://www.cranecams.com/master/apps...#5.%20CompuCam)

0.020 over is what I needed to get my cylinders walls like new... I want this engine to last forever

I'll check out that manifold right now... thanks
