Ops, my bad. My brain didn't register the B cam. That explains it, and I was going to go that route with my similar build, but I know my stock axles wouldn't take THAT amount of power. I had to settle for the E cam.

im not 100% sure what the enternals of my motor are but it put down 340-348 on two different dynos, i know its bored with a voodoo cam an a set of ported gt40s, edelbrock performer rpm intake, edelbrock 650 carb, thats all that i know 100% of. the rest of the work was done before i got the motor. but i know he didnt spend too much on it

i suggest you don't **** off the people that know how to build engines.
there is a huge difference between a 400 hp "budget" build and a "RELIABLE" 400 hp build which i think he was trying to imply.
if you simply want 400 hp, but in a big cam, some chinese pro comp heads and a nitrous kit.
the pro comp heads can also be bought bare and have good parts installed.
the gt40 heads are crap. the gt40p heads are decent and have smaller combustion chambers thsan the non p heads.
if you buy used heads you have to pay at least 200.00 to rebuild them.
you need your static compression around 10.5 to optimize perf on 91 octane gas but that is too high for stock iron heads.
you can also buy rebuilt e7 iron heads that are ported from powerheads.com for $800.00.
racingjunk.com has lots of used high perf parts.
