Please help with any comments:

I just Dyno'ed my 427 stroker (428 Crank). Torgue: 385 HP: 294 at 5200 rpm.
$14,000 later, I am very dissapointed, as some might imagine. Here are the stats:

65 427 center oiler block, .030 over
Edelbrock Alum heads out of the box, installed
2.19 / 1.75 valves
Police interceptor Alum. Intake
DaVinci 850 Carb
Harlan Sharp Roller Rockers
Hooker Headers
2.5 inch exhaust
Flowmaster mufflers

Timing was set at 10 initial, 36 total

To be fair, I told my engine builder that I wanted the most HP without a crazed idle; I am running power breaks, so need enough vaccuum.

The CAM I went with was the Extreme Energy Cam with around .565 lift and 230 dg duration @.050. It is Hydrolic. Comp Cams does NOT make a roller cam for the FE.

Questions: Shouldn't this combo produce substantially more HP? (Engine builder says this is reasonable and to quit reading the comic books).
What the most HP I should be able to get (AND HOW DO YOU DO IT KEEPING IT STREETABLE) in this 454?

Thanks!
