edelbrock performer manifold and msd ignition pack
750cfm BG Demon carb
220/220 deg cam .56 lift
ATI crank pully damper
ARE dry sump conversion
4-1 tubular headers cermic coated
3" exhaust systems - no cats
pancake 14" air filter
no a/c or p/steering
rev limit circa 6500rpm approx.

tbh I am suprised that it might make anywhere near that much? i thought the stock engine being circa 350bhp that the above should clear 400bhp reliably enough.
i've only gone for a very mild cam to keep it all ultra reliable and driveable. its going in a lightweight track car so anything 400+bhp i would be pleased with anyway, plus there would be scope for future power gains then if it ever gets boring!

I dont know about that, i cant get mine to run with the stock internals camaros. I am sure i have some tuning left, but i am a 1/2 second off and lighter.
