I was gonna say a little above 500 rwhp as well.
In all honesty, I would say around 525 rwhp is very feasable out of that combination!
Just My .02!

Either way, You'll LOVE the Instant TQ.

IMHO 550/500 should be a minimum with that combo. (all motor)

I am building a 418 and just had Geoff@EPS spec me a cam as well. I'm hoping to make above 500 rwhp hopefully closer to 530 with a th350 and a 12 bolt.

i know the rear wont last and is next on the list just really reading the differences between the 9in and 12 bolt.

it goes up and down on the forum.

And the heads are as good as they can be there just cnc+mill 243 heads. And im sure they are going to do the job to break the 550 mark.
