I vote 425HP tops. Hard to say without cam duration or compression. I think the procomp heads will hold you back unless ported.
Download "Engine Analyzer Pro" for free and try a few combinations. You get 10 days to play before you have to pay. Or delete and re-install... |

I would guess around 400-4004 hp. I have the same but i'm using vortecs and guess mine about 375-395 hp and it's in my 77 camaro.

Here's what I got. Used the flow numbers from the procomp site. I think they may be a tad optimistic. Used 1 3/4" exhaust headers with standard collectors. 10:1 compression. I also assumed the duration you gave was at 0.050" lift not the advertised duration. Dual plane intake, standard heat.
408HP at 5750rpms and 424TQ at 3750rpms Here's the print out. Of course with engine analyzers "junk in = junk out" the more info you have the closer to reality the results will be. |

your cam specs are just a little under what i have. i have a lunati voodoo cam and lifter kit with the recommended springs, bored 30, 2.02;1.60 s/s valves, stock heads milled to give me a compression ration of 10to1 and are also port and polished. i am looking at 430hp. i am using a 750cfm holley carb.
might want to check to see if you are not under carbed. that will affect the performance seriously. by the way, this was my first build as well. she is a nice one. |

You'll need a cam with a little more duration. With 1.6 rockers you're currently at .560" lift. 400RWHP is 470HP at the crank +/-. You're about 50-70HP short. |

you definitely got 400+ rwhp.good luck and that was an excellent excuse.

Re-doing the analyzer with new specs gives: (.525 total lift and 218/228 @ 0.050") 399HP @ 5750rpms and 420ft-lbs @ 3750rpms That's at the crank, not the wheels. Again I think you would benefit from a little more duration. Also less LSA could also help. Adding 10* duration and going to 110*LSA bumps HP to 417HP and TQ to 424ft-lbs. |
