Take a look
Just wanted some of your honest opinions on my combo for a engine im currently building, here are some specs:
-Vortec "880" block machined 0.030" over, tanked, magnafluxed, decked approx 0.010"
-Eagle 355ci balanced rotating assemblie, Cast crank, I-beam rods, KB hyp flat top pistons, approx 10.0:1 compression
-Comp cams 08-433-8 hydraulic roller camshaft, 0.520/0.540 lift, 110 LSA, 236/242 duration @ 0.050"
-World products Sportsman II heads, 986-16 springs, 64cc chambers, angle plugs
-Comp cams 1.52 pro magnum rocker arms
-Edelbrock performer RPM airgap intake
-Full MSD ignition
-Holley 700DP carb
from what i can figure, this combo should be good in the area of 425hp at the crank, what do you guys think?

Re: Take a look
i dont know what kind of car you are putting this in, but if your putting it in a thirdgen camaro/firebird, then you most likely are going to use shorty headers, and shorty headers will not clear your angled plug heads, believe me i made this mistake, you need to get straight plugs, just like the original L98 head, that is if you are using shorties and you do have a thirdgen chassis
