You did say that you have already installed this camshaft http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/Ca...x?csid=94&sb=2 Now it is a Step up from the 1981 L-46 Corvette Camshaft . But You could have gone with a Larger Grind . The Head's that You Listed are Good Heads but at 195cc Intake Runners on Your L/C Engine with that Camshaft they are Over Kill . From How I am Reading this Post you have the Stock intake . So you will most Likely be Up-Grading to a Better Performance Intake . With that Said this engine as is would work Well with a Stock Set of Vortec Head's and a Non-Air Gap RPM Vortec Intake . On the Corvette's Hood Clearance would be an Issue with Air Gap Higher intake . Tuned Right with the Vortec's . That Engine should pull about 320 H.P that Camshaft is hold back more H.P Numbers . But it will have Lot's of Low End TorqueWisdom is acquired by experience, not just by age
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
