but if it was me i would lose the 24's for some 30's and ditch that intake for a rpm 2,holley and then no problem of 400 fwhp

also what compression ratio?

Here is my 2 cents. With well ported heads, bigger cam, injectors etc. etc. you could get 400hp. But you would have to rev it to moon to get it, with only 331ci engine N/A. Which is fine for the strip, But would suck for a street car.

Humble suggestion..... instead of making it a "would this x,y,z,q, combination give me a 400 HP"......... start from zero. ID the items you can't change due to whatever reasons (budget, type of use, driveability, etc)....and make it a "what combo will provide 400 HP, be driveable (if that's a requirement), etc, etc"..... or better yet, "what combo will allow my car to make [11.5s, 11.8s, 12.10s, ....] in the 1/4 mile and still be driveable.".... HP numbers are for ricers....

ya the e cam will limit you greatly for na power, And the intake. Get a custom grind, and a better intake (edelbrock, or holley in my opinion) and you could get close. You will definatly need at least 30 # injectors if not 42, and then what ever you miss your number by just add that much in a wet shot of nitrous
