Does 350hp sound right for the first setup? I thought those numbers were alittle low.

Sure the numbers sound low, but dynos can vary big time so it's hard to say for sure. My car made 55 more hp on one dyno over another with no mod changes whatsoever...and both were Dynojet dynos to boot lol

this is why you back up dyno's with track performance. Dyno's can be everywhere.

No milling no porting. If I go with a thinner head gasket I'll have to shorten my pushrod length correct?

Depending on what those 243s came off of...you may have to shorten the P/R
anyways.....02-04 Corvette ZO6 heads have the hollow stem lightweight
valves which are .0236" longer to work with the factory .551/.547 cam
