Default 351W power expectations

I found these stats:
5.8W (351 ci)

132 hp @ 3600 rpm

263 ft/lb @ 1800 rpm


Will simply adding new heads, cam and roller lifters bump the power to say 200hp 325tqe or possibly more?

I plan on running shorties also, if that make a difference.

I don't know where you got those numbers but they are not even close. 69 2 barrel is rated at 250 and 4 barrel is rated at 290. You are well over 200 now.

And h/c/i 351W should be capable of producing 400hp at the crank. A built 351W with internals and a well thought out h/c/i is capable of producing 400+rwhp. And be streetable on pump fuel.

Good heads, induction, exhaust, and warm cam + 351W = easy 400HP....

Exhaust question now

Im really craving Glasspacks for that awesome sound. But I hear that they cut torque do to less/no backpressure.

Any suggestions?
