does this optimal hp/tq expectation reasonable?
ok after some more thoughts and lots of question asking and some phone calls i have this setup planned for a 350
trick flow 23 degree cnc machined heads - 2.020/1.60 valves
64 cc chambers - 195cc intake runners
flow numbers for these heads are

comp cams xe268h-14 224/230@0.50 .508.8/.512 lift with 1.6 rockers
114 lsa
9-9.025" deck height with 4.125" bore 0.29" thick head gasket
for estimated 10.5:1 compression
dynomax headers 1 1/2" primaries 2 1/2" collector
to hollowed cat then 3 inch back to flowmaster muffler(all exhaust parts except headers already on car)
ported tpi plenum along with tpis big mouth manifold. and aftermarket runners of some sort. no brand selected yet
holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator
bigger fuel injectors and minor prom tuning.
this is what i'd like to see from 350hp/400ft lb torque from this setup
what are your opinions on what this setup will yeild?

I'm no expert on TPI's breathing capability but I would think you will be very close to your goal. Should make mountains of torque and good HP.
I kinda doubt that you will get 10.5:1 if you're going with the stock shortblock. Why the 195 cc heads, they seem big considering the TPI runners - or is that the hot ticket for TPI?

i used the eqaution to find compression ratio and it came that area. and i rounded down a bit
and im also not worried about the tpi not breathing very highly over 5000-5500 rpms because the car will never see the light of day past 5500 anyways

Have you considered Pro Lightnings, they flow better than TFs and I've heard some bad feedback on the TFs.
I just got a set of aluminum 2.08/1.6 ones.

I ordered mine from www.proshaver.com for $870 aluminum assembled, they were on sale though.

those only flow 5 cfm more on the intake side and the tf actualy outflows these on the exhaust side. and for the money the tf will come assembled and cnc machined etc etc
