Edelbrock: 234/238 @ 0.050",,

the cam in my Nova : 250ish/ 260ish at 0.050"

well except mines .81 lift with a custom set of Jessel 1.7 / 1.8:1 shaft rockers for the Allpro 245 Rased runner heads,,, flowing 370ish

Your cam, my heads and I'm sure you can make your 500 RWHP

as a FYI heads and valve train ran me just over $9k


That's what were getting at C20
If the cam is "just fine" whatever HP number you end up with will have to be 'just fine' also.

Building a combination around an existing component (unless it's the heads) is quite counter productive to the budget. But so be it.

Choose a fuel spec, and choose a budget and then we could offer some realistic help on your combination

Guys I'm going to run this cam first then upgrade and tweak in the future. And I totally agree that most of the money needs to be spent on the heads/valve train.
