those headers are killing you first off. If the heads are good(valvetrain included), you can be easily seeing 365 with those headers if the car is running right. Get some longtubes and you will honestly gain about 15-20 rwhp with your setup.

My 396 only put down 333/371 with Edelbrock headers the first time. My tune is **** for one but I went wide open on new exhaust. I haven't been back to the dyno but I'm looking for a bigger cam. I'm shooting for 450 rwhp on a big cam. I would shoot for the 430 rwhp mark if you went stroker. However, take it to the track cuz a number is just a number unless you got track times to back it up!

If your heads are good, your likely to see over 365rwhp, if there really good, and get some long tubes that cam is easily good for over 400rwhp. You can get a set of Pacesetter long tubes, 1 3/4, for 280 a set and there good, I have a set on my 383 LT1. thats a good setup, wish I woulda went with that cam. Good luck
