What heads and cam to go with??? What's the best heads & cam package to go with? (best bang for your buck).
Trying to get about 400 to 400 hp range. Trying to see what people have had luck with.
Thank-you in advance.

I'd say the best bang for the buck and one of most powerful easily streetable combinations for a 346 would be Thunder Racing's TRak cam and PRC-ported Dart heads. Very nice combo for not a lot of money.
We recently tested 5 different sets of heads, 10 camshafts, 3 intakes and 2 sets of headers all on an engine dyno. What we found will surprise everyone. We have some new engineered packages that will blow your mind. They are based around our $999 exchange 5.7 heads, which outpowered the leading aftermarket "205" head. Pretty good bang for the buck for sure. To give you some idea, with these heads, a 220/224 cam and a Fast 90/90 we saw a 115 HP gain over the engine with a LS6 intake and headers. Killer gains for a tiny cam, talk about a drivable combo.
The base engine with headers made 400 HP at the crank, with the heads, cam and intake it made 515 HP and 472 TQ.
