Would you say that your whp was what you expected? I'm hoping for around 450. I figure I made 322whp with a stock motor and nothing other than LT's, I hope a cam, stroker and high comp can get me there.

Lower your SCR a bit. To run pump gas premium and have a cam that supports the powerband you desire.

Agreed. That's why I asked the question. I was assuming you had base lined your car and a comparable dyno to the numbers you mentioned. The numbers at the track you had were what I would expect from a car with those mods so that is good to hear.
