what would that set me at, as far as power ?
- the bigger cam that is and roller rockers as well as the carb? just a roungh estimate.... over 450?

In all honesty i'd like to be in the 550 - 600 hp range. and id really like to do it with this 396. would i just be better off throwing in a bigger engine?

right now i really dont want to spend anymore than about 5k on parts.

anyway thanks again for all the help
