If the weight of the car has been trimmed down and you can hook it up, you should be there.

no flames intended here, but why in the h_ll did you get a flat tappet cam! even if it is a solid flat tappet cam, your gonna be way down on power, those things are 1960's technology, you should have gotten a hyd roller at the minimum, solid roller would be the best but is harsh an valve train parts. I dont see that thing making over 350 hp at the flywheel. I hope this is an april fools joke.....

I went with this cam because there cheap. And will spin alot higher than A hydro-roller with alot less trick valve train. Sure you can spin a Hydro-Roller but I want to be different.

There are lot's of car's haulin ass with solid flat tappet's Look at all the Dodge's and Chevy's and even ford's that are doin it. Sure 350 hp huh hell my little stock 302 with an E-303 that's running 12.teens is making that kinda power.
