Default Combo Question

I know this is a ridiculously overasked question and you cant get a sure answer but with the following combo would i be over 400hp and torque easily bc this winter im gonna try to get over 4 with out spending too too much more money

the combo i hope to be running (as long as i get the cam and small odds and end):
302 block stroked to a 347 11:1 compression
x cam 1.6 rockers
custom heads with 190cc intake 60 exhaust
edelbrock performer rpm intake
holley 650 carb
longtubes
petejackson gear drive

pretty much it for big things just wondering if id break the 400

The 'X' cam will retard any power making. There are cams out there from Comps Cams that are made for stroker 302s, an 'X' cam isn't that.
BTW, there is NO power to be gained using a gear drive

We talking 400 flywheel hp or to the wheels? Flywheel yes, wheels no.
What are custom heads?

I concur with tinman, you could do much better than an x cam.

Comp Cams makes a couple cams specifically for 347 and bigger motors

cam choice suxs, custom heads with 1.90/1.60 valves??? small IMO, 650 CARB?? 750-800 MIN IMO with the right h/c/i, long tubes?? what size?? 1 3/4 min IMO, and trash the gear drive idea.....your recipe is a 325-340 rwhp combo I bet, go back to the drawing board
