Sounds to me like he could be losing some backpressure. Is he using a standard trans? Clutch could be slipping also. 280 is a little low.

Yeah that does seem to be pretty low output. I'm building a 347 with about 10.4:1 and hope it puts out more than that.

Something's got to be restricting that engine. Intake, exhaust, etc...

Is the throttle opening all the way?

280 to the wheels through an AOD tranny may be a tad soft but very close to what you should have. Through a 5 spd manual it would be soft on the HP for sure.
