Holley SysteMAX II street engine systems for small Chevy, you get top-quality components designed to work together for dramatic results. You get fully assembled Holley cylinder heads, an intake manifold, and a Lunati cam with 235°/240° duration at .050, .490/.490 in. lift, and 112° lobe separation. You also get lifters, hardened pushrods, head bolts, a double-roller timing chain and gears, and assembly lube.
Head Combo, Head Bolts, Intake, Camshaft, Lifters, Pushrods, Timing Set, Assembly Lube, Kit

I think those kits are a waste of money, they say they take all the time and research out of everything but thats the part i like. You could proly spend the same money on a dif setup and end up with alot more power and have the satisfaction of saying you put the time in and built your own ****. Tell us your goals and we can proly point you in a better direction.

Here is a better intake to look at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...4506.m20.l1116 .
Here is a cam & lifter kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318 .

I would spend the extra caah and go with a roller cam, also dont run anything but a performer RPM air-gap(nothing else compares). Check out the perfoemer RPM roller cam Edelbrock makes and try to pair it with a set of either RHS or Trick Flow heads. You can easily make 470-500fwhp with that setup, I ran something real similar and it kicked ***!

I will give you my personal suggestion, spend the extra money on the roller equipment. Those Holley heads are OK, but that is it.

But I think 450 is an extremely easy goal, I made 432whp with a 350. Thats gotta be close to 500fwhp Zane, but I had 11.5:1 cr and all of the nicest stuff. You were using about 50 HP loss through the drive line so about 480ish. If it was a automatic 500 would be closer to the RWHP estimate. But you had allot into it, not just off the shelf parts, 500 HP at the FW with vortecs, not gonna happen.
