What part number are those aluminum heads you mentioned just wondering.
I don't have any dyno slips but, I think I'm somewhere around 325 - 350 HP. When my truck was stock with 3.42 gears I ran 0-60MPH in 11.2 Seconds. Now with some go fast parts and 4.11 gears I'm under 7 seconds. It idles smooth and has plenty of low end torque.Do any of you guys have any experience on tbi making power over 300hp? What all has to be done to make it reliable?
That sounds about what I want. What’s the specs on your engine and what did you do for your tranny to handle that?

And would you trust it for a daily driver scenario?I don't have any dyno slips but, I think I'm somewhere around 325 - 350 HP. When my truck was stock with 3.42 gears I ran 0-60MPH in 11.2 Seconds.

OK, it's an 88 with a stage 2 (600HP) 700R4, I blew 2 before this one. Without looking at my build sheet, from top to tail pipe, the 46mm TB on Edelbrock 3704 intake manifold, EP381 vortec fuel pump, those heads, Lunati 10120700LK cam with 1.6 full roller rockers (.468/484 lift), stock pistons, crank, and rods, Shorty headers, JBA mandrel bent Y pipe to 3" single exhaust, high flow Cat, and Borla Pro XS straight through muffler. For controls and tuning I have the EBL Flash-II and a WBO2. The EBL doesn't do electronic trans though. All in I have about $8K in it including the $2300 for the trans shipped to my house. My son and I did all the labor so I saved a bunch there. This was over 3 years ago and prices have gone up a bit since then. For example those heads were $200 less when I bought them.What’s the specs on your engine and what did you do for your tranny to handle that?
Yes. If I had to do it over, I'd put in a roller cam since I discovered my block has the bosses for the spider and holes for the cam trust plate too.And would you trust it for a daily driver scenario?
Budget? Thats gotta be one of the main questions here. There are infinite solutions to this issue, but the budget is going to narrow it down the most compared to any other variable. If you have 10k then just LS swap it. If you have $1500 then the 5.7 vortec might be worth swapping in.No I get it that more info may be needed to get the build squared away. This thread was just simply asking about engine performance though. What part number are those aluminum heads you mentioned just wondering.
Flat top pistons will give you more compression. So will the Edelbrock heads since they are 62cc while the 193 swirl port heads are around 65cc.1) can I opt to keep stock pistons or do I have Edelbrock spec the pistons
2) I want to stay with pump gas and emissions, what compression am I targeting
3) will the Edelbrock heads allow me to bolt the same accessories or do I need to go with serpentine belt set up
