ok i am starting an engine build it is a 350 chevy and i want to make around 375-450 hp i would like good engine combinations to make that hp like what cam heads and intake rod piston everything thanks for any help

When you get up around 450 H.P. you might want to think about a forged crank. An Eagle 4130 should do it .5140 steel rod's ,S.R.P. forged piston's. Use a good oil pump , Melling's or Moroso .Stay away from exotic stuff, like gear drive's, roller rocker's and racing ignition's. Stick with the basic's , screw in stud's with guide plate's on the head's. 2.02 intake valve's 1.6 exhaust Manley's. Comp Cam's X-Treme Energy cam's are good 274/286 adv. dur. .487/.490" lift should run in the 1800-6000 R.P.M. range. This should idle lopey and give plenty of power around 400+ H.P. Do you have any idea's for induction carb or fuel injection? An Edelbrock R.P.M. Air Gap manifold with a Holley 600 vacuum secondary Carb should run to 6,000 R.P.M.'s I like jet's in both side's of the carb for adjustabilty. Good luck on the engine.
