It should, assuming proper tune and good exhaust, but you'd be better off with a better intake manifold.

well the intake he has done bought. but cam he has not yet. it dont have any exhaust yet trying to get the motor togather. i think his going with a 700r4 with stock converter and 3.73. what would be best cam to go with the above? his wanting around 375 - 400 at the fly wheel horsepower.
