If it's just the 300rwhp barrier you're looking for, there are TONS of people who have done that on a stock shortblock. There are several here. The 330+rwhp barrier is very difficult, but has been done. Those are usually the types of cars that are examples of a companies work or accomplishments. For the specific car I'm thinking of, go to the corral and search for ERStettin. It's his old combo. He now has a 360" 10sec N/A 10.5:1 car. It was all FTI parts: FTI AFR heads, FTI cam, FTI Edelbrock intake. That's why he made so much power. Stickover $3k in H/C/I on a stock shortblock and you'll make 330+rwhp too. Here is a pic of the car in Ed's gallery: http://www.flowtechinduction.com/streetpics.htm

I wouldnt waste my time with AFR 165cc heads they are marginal at best for a stock motor. If you do anything beyond an h/c/i they will be a restriction.

start off with a RHS180, Canfield 190, or something of the sort. then get the pistons notched for clearance.

an off the shelf cam will do it as well. doesnt need to be custom. my buddy has afr165's, TF stage 1 cam and a cobra intake ported to the max and he dynos 314rwhp. 300rwhp is the standard for a decent h/c/i on the stock block. look around, 300rwhp is nothing impressive for a stock bottom end
