bugget build up

i currently have a small block 350 that i want to put heads and a cam on to make about 350-400hp.There are a few sets i was allready thinking about using (holley system max2,a set by trickflow, and one by eledobrock) all of these kits are around the same price and the power ranges are pretty close so i am having trouble deciding on one. I dont want something that if the engine blows im going to want to throw it in the trash i would like high quality and performance.
thanks alot,
Eric

this would be your best bet. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tec...c_small_block/

you could build pretty decent power with a budget too

high quality, performance and budget don't go in the same category.

If you're shooting for that HP at the wheels you're going to have a hard time getting there with a simply heads/cam swap on a 350.

If you want a set of good heads it wont be the Holleys or the Edlebrocks. Not too hot out of the box.

What's the rest of your setup?
