I see bigger heads & intake than the typical stock block combo.

If that cam is matched well to the heads and the cam & heads are matched well to the intake, I can see how you could do better than the typical results.

You might be better off with some race type headers which have 1 3/4 tubes and not the street type ball & socket collectors.

24's could very well be close to the limit if you put up the good numbers. You may have to raise the pressue somewhat.

The tune is gonna need to be pretty close for some non typical results.

I can see how you might be closer to 350 than 300 if it all matches up well to each other.

Good Luck

What Grady said. We've seen very similar combos do well over 300. Don't quote me, but I am almost sure I've read Ed Curtis posts on Hardcore where he lists around 330-340RWHP as the number his streetable AFR185 combos routinely hit.
