what kind of numbers are you getting ?

thanks again guys Bob
I have the RPM heads and they a great street head. I also have the RPM Air Gap intake. I also have forged FT pistons at 11.0:1 CR and a Holley 650 carb. I opted for a different cam (crower grind 15237) based on my shop's recommendation to stay away from Edelbrock cams. I am putting down 316 rwhp behind a C6 auto, which gives me 405 HP at the flywheel with this set up. My power band is 2500-6000 with these components.

If you were to get Vic Jrs., you could see 435-450 hp in a 351 with the right pistons, cam, intake, carb, and CR. Just make sure to pick a cam that makes power at RPMs you intend to drive.
