That part I don't believe. 0.030"-over I'd believe, but not 0.30"-over.

Are you working over the X rods, or buying them already done?

Any particular reason for the single plane intake? If you use it, you'd better up the stall to 4000 RPMs. With the stall you quote, you'd be quicker with an RPM intake.

Should be in the 400 HP range with proper exhaust.

Re: HP estimates??

Did you deck the block? This may sound like a broken record by now, but speed pro pistons are .020" deeper in the hole, if you don't deck the block with a normal .040" head gasket it'll be closer to 9.2:1. If you zero deck it you'll get the 10:1 on the nose - you want that.

That's a nice combo, should get up to 400HP with those aftermarket heads and healthy cam. I ran that one for a short while (be sure you break it in to the letter, EOS and PLENTY of cam-lobe lube)
