Great "puller for a medium to heavy car. Poor vacuum at idle for accessories, a bit lopey but if you have a stick instead of an automatic, could work. If you're really going for the numbers you first mentioned, it will achieve them. To be a bit more tunable, degree the cam to the card they supply, make sure it has a good exhaust system and be patient with carburation because it will get sensitive to the combos you have. What are the heads? You sure you wanna go 200? I like the 180 idea mentioned earlier. Intake manifold will make a difference on idle to full band will make it change for sensitivity. Ignition curves will have to be painstakingly observed (be patient). Make sure you don't assume a plain jane valve job is sufficient. Too many machining process will go a long way towards achieving your goal. Geometry, geometry, geometry.....that's the key. A torque converter in your choice of automatic (if this is your set-up) needs to bit a touch loose compared to the stock one. Hope this helps.
