first of all...aluminum heads will not make more HP than cast...They will make more than stock however. You are probably around 260-285 HP. This is what the most powerful SBC had in the late 50s early 60s from the factory. This 285HP is what 90% of people will say that their engines is making 350-400HP. With 285HP you can run mid 14 second 1/4 mile times. It is expensive to make a lot of HP. Remember...GM with all of its resources could only make 360HP with a 350...This was a solid cammed 11.5-1 100+octane no lowend power no power braked facory drag engine...and this was with the old school HP raitings...the new ls1s make big power...but they are very HI tech. If you want to make a true 400HP+ 350...email me..I have the info...but expect to run race gas...
