What is your question? Guestimated HP?

Sounds like an alright combo. Find out what the heads are, 416's are 305 heads, and "corvette" heads could be anything. Get more info on the cam, lift doesn't really tell the whole story.

Somewhat similar to my combo. ie, 416 heads, performer RPM q-jet, qjet, compxe 268, etc.

It's a good low buck motor build.

well my brother told me a number something like 416 and the cam shaft spec was 555" and 110 lobe,Q-jet,,etc

but u know what i need a combo that is a very good for street/strip and wont let me down

i was thinking of 4.060 pistons,sportsman II heads,555" 106 lobe lunati cam shaft,air gab intake manifold,long tube headers,holley carburetor and some other things

u tell me the best set up for street/strip and the car not for daily use and i want rough cam shaft i love the sound of it

btw im thinking of putting a T-5 on that set up with 3.73,how good is this will be? or should i go to TH-350 directly?
in my country the fastest stock cars are avalon's,altima's,350Z's and some modded mustang's they are crap cars and i want a killer set up for them and some modded cars
i asked my brother about the old set up in his old truck he told me i ate 300ZX turbo and iroc z with some serious mods alive and i still have the car i will eat 350Z's and altima's for breakfast
is it true with this set up u can beat those japanese bugs?

Car: Yes
Engine: Usually
Transmission: Sometimes
Axle/Gears: Behind me somewhere
That depends on what your heads and cam actually are, among other things. (Driver, gears, driver, carb, tire, suspension, driver, and so on)

Oh, and with a stick shift, the DRIVER is real important too. One slip by the driver and it's all over.

What country is this anyway?

yea, that's all just talk, you really don't know anything about that motor yet... I mean, I can chirp all 4 gears... boy that impresses people I tell it to. Does that mean my car is fast? Not really. Did that raise your eyebrows? Probably. But who cares? That just means I need to tune my suspension really.

but u dont know those ppl here they always like "come on show me what u got" and i really dont want to race them with a 305 !!
their cars are brand new with racing fuel thats why they seems they rule the street but in the end they are *****'s,not to mention all those honda's,stang's,alot of stang's all show off and always says "no chevy can take us in 1/4 mile's",man its so insaulting i love chevy and i dont want those suckers to talk alot about chevy's,well see 350Z's,altima's,,etc all those *****'s i can eat them with that set up b/c there is already an iroc z ate them for dinner yesterday and his set up is 4.040 sealed power pistons,converted from tpi to q-jet and a unknown cam shaft but not rough at all with Th-350 and 9 bolt rear end with stock 3.27
right for now i will go with sealed power 4.060,lunati cam shaft 555" lift and 106 lobe,performer rpm for spreadbore,q-jet and about the tranny im all confused go to manual or stay on auto and for the rear end it will be 3.73 hopefully

don't go 4.060 just for fun, bore it as needed. Only to clean up the bores, those 4 cubes aren't worth the risk cracking your block.

the piston overbore size has very little to do with how much power you'll get.

Why so high? You actually do have race gas at the pumps over there? Is this in Dubai?


use small chamber heads like 56cc or something. It sounds like you really don't know much about this, i'd read some books and start slow here.

As far as your cam goes.....a 106 is a pretty nasty lobe angle, I can't see recommending going quite that tight. 110-112 seems to do well for a street car, and doesn't bother fuel injection systems quite so much. You can go tighter on a carbureted car, but I don't know how far you could go reasonably.

I'm running 224/232 duration, .533/.544 lift, on a 112 angle on a 302 and it's a pretty big cam for this motor and performs like **** on the street until you wind it real tight. So I imagine on a 350, you'd be looking for something pretty similar, maybe a tad bigger, for a hot street project.

By the way, what's the duration at .050, youre not posting those. Just from what you said, for a street setup I'd go with the .535 lift, 110 LSA cam. IMO.

you can't get the LSA from the duration spec. That cam could be ground on a 106, 110, 114 or 107.75*, any oddball number you want.

You can get the lobe centerline angle from that I think, but that's kinda meaningless right now.

name the cam.

it's usually listed, or you can search on that part number on the actual manufacturers website, and find the cam card, and it'll be on that.
