im just wondering if anyone has a similar engine to what ill be running


4 bolt 355 (350 bored .030") with a stock crank, eagle i-beam rods, forged pistons

vortec heads with a .467 lift cam.. 278* duration.. edelbrock intake and edelbrock 750 CFM carb

if so.. how do you like it? how much power are you making out of it? any track times?

ran 13.00 with a little smaller cam. But that cam is a good one. A good choice.
Should run easy 12's with slicks. Your heddman Y pipe leaves a bit to be desired. try the car uncapped (open exhaust) at the track to see the difference.
