Dart Iron Eagle Head Help

Hey everyone I recently picked up a set of dart iron eagle 200cc heads. I cant find any build threads with these heads. I installed a new short block in my car 350, 4-bolt main, 8.5:1, just a gm short block. I really just have a few questions:
Can i use a cam that will work with TPI?
Will i have to run a stall converter on my 700r4?
Is it possible to make 350-400hp?
Any help is appreciated! thanks!

No. Not possible. Dart's own 180 cc heads have proven adequate to support 525 HP on a 400 with a moderate HR cam, with a way-too-small carb, so why consider larger ports on smaller cubes? Sell the heads, or build a 434 to use them on.
