I'm going to guess 315rwhp

By the way if your going with the 75mm TB you mine as well get the plenum to go with it...or at-least port your stock one

With the New Trickflow Trackheat intake maifold you should not need a plenum. Your thottle body should bolt to it. I thought they made it all one piece.

312 HP My Guess

I'am in the process of getting my heads ported, valve job, and a set of flat top pistons notched for my comp 278's. Everybody talks about degreeing cams. How much are you degrees yours and are you just using the degrees on the cam gears or are you using degree wheel on them.

well i am using first of all a dial indicator to find top dead center on cyl #1 and #6. taking eaxact care to make sure the timing wheel on the crank is lined up with 0deg at this point to make "true" TDC. Then in a process of using a dial indication on the spring retainers and finding the intake centerline on cyl #1 and #6 respectively for each bank.... comp cams has a very good installation guide on their site to doing so...as far as what am i using... im using a degree wheel on the crank to find true TDC and using adjustable cam gears to adjust the intake centerline as needed... intake centerline measurments should be listed on ur grind card that came with the cams
