A similar build with a similar cam made 578 hp with a 850 edelbrock carb, so i think i should be close to 600 when everything is said and done. I just wish i knew more about camshafts before placing that order. I just feel like im leaving some hp on the table with my cam and possibly the intake too. My engine builder felt better about using the performer versus a torker 2
If you check, both Tremec and GM rate trans by torque capacity. A 750 HP SBC will not be making as much torque as your 600 HP Pontiac.
