if you can gain techinspector's attention, he has a link to a killer car page that has hundreds of proven engine combinations. I used to have it but I misplaced it somewhere in my harddrive and now i can't find it.
I have not used that intake.Quote:

I would run a hyd. roller cam.
I would try a Comp. cam XR288HR or a Crane part number 118571.
With those heads and either one of the cams listed above I would try and run 10.5 to 1 comp. ratio.
If you can't run that much comp. ratio take about five degree's of duration off the cam at .050.
Yes the engine will run on 92 pump gas and about 36 degree's total timing.
I didn't have anything on your intake, I used the Performer RPM instead - should be close.
I think you are going to have to 'give' somewhere. With a sub 500 lift hydraulic camshaft and dual plane intake, you will be very hard pressed to get the 450 to 500 hp range.
Depending upon how you plan on using the car, the combo as is has a tremendous amount of torque. If you see more street driving than track time, thats what you are looking for anyways.
On the screen above - curious about the deck height of 9.000????
Unless the program units are actually factions of an inch?
I built my 383 based on this combination except I used Edelbrock's RPM intake and 750 carb, and I am running one point more compression than you are (10.6:1). I would advise you to use the Edelbrock RPM or the RPM Airgap rather than the AFR intake if you are going to do much street driving. My engine dynoed at 450 hp and 467 ft. lbs. of torque. It really rocks in my deuce coupe!Quote:

In my opinion, you're starting with the best heads money can buy and they're the correct size (cubic inches times 1/2 for intake runner size, street motor).
AFR shows five builds on their dyno website. Check 'em out.......

Look at the fifth build down.Quote:

All this on pump gas and less than 10 to 1 for a comp. ratio.
This is what ever sbc guy needs.
This is as close to perfect for a street rod or muscle as you will ever get I.M.O.

It depends on how good you want it.Quote:

I run a small or reduced base circle cam in any of the 383's I build.
The 280 would be the largest hyd. cam I would run in a sbc. with the removal of zinc from todays oils.
I have customers that run 7.00's in the 1/8 mile out of a sbc. with a hyd. roller cam and some even drive them to the track.
If I am building a max. effort 383 sbc. for the streets the most hp out of a hyd. cam I would even try for is around 1.1 to 1.2 hp per cubic inch.
After that I would look at hyd. roller's or mech. rollers.
