what do you think of this combo?

i'm building a 350. so far i have a set of 062 vortec heads, a crane 282 cam(.470 lift 226 duration at .050), it will have hooker 2055 headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust, perf rpm air gap intake, an edelbrock 600 cfm carb and about 9.4-10:1 compression.

it will have a built 2004r trans and a 3.23 open rear for now, shouldn't break to soon with old 225/70-15s on the back.

about what do you think it will run in the 1/8 and 1/4 if i get it to hook up and put a posi rear with 3.73/4.10 gears?

its also a 87 roller block so i'll eventualy put a decent roller cam like a comp 282HR when i do something with the heads for more lift. what do you think the roller cam and a bigger carb would be worth?

It should run pretty good.
Should run 12's with traction.
