Hows this combo? Will I make 300rwhp or more?

Edelbrock new design 60379 heads

Trick Flow Track heat intake ( already own)

Custom cam

1.6 Roller rockers

65mm thb (already on the car)

Cold air with k&N

75 or 80 mm maf

Full exhaust (shorty bbk's, high flow cat h pipe, 2 chambers.

lots of timing.

A friend of mine thought the intake would hold me back of the 300rwhp because of the long runners. Let me get some peoples opinions, can I make 300 rwhp or more?

With a good custom cam you'll have no problem seeing 300+ rwhp. The Track Heat actually has fairly short runners (12").

Well with a off the shelf streetable cam you would have very close to 300rwhp if you didn't reach it...but a custom cam will definetly get you there
