Larry, I tried to enter your engine combo into Dyno2000 and had to make some guesses (and substitute a head flow file), but the program came really close to what you saw! Using GM 188 heads, 9.5:1 compression, and small tube headers with mufflers, the program says you should see 436 hp @ 5000 RPM and 487 TQ at 4000 RPM. Advance the cam a bit and the peaks will move higher in the RPM band.
