You are telling me you could take a PRODUCTION TPI 350 with 125k plus miles on it, put a cam in it, and destroy this engine? No way. Look at the length of the parts list and COST to make it beat this. Not to mention the 0411 ECM and other LS parts used... LOL
Considering this is Gearhead.... We all have a pretty good idea on the cost associated with making power like that in a SBC. Its WELL over 3k. Without dyno time I'm in this 2.4k. Then look at what it did without the new cam.... Subtract estimated value of cam kit. That puts a 419hp 444lb-ft engine at well under 2k.
