top end combo recommendations?
I'm toying with the idea of having the top end of my engine updated for performance and wanted your opinions on some good setups for what I have?
The engine has been gone throught recently with some mild HP additions, intake, better cam and carb.
I have a 69 350 / 350 HP car with a 4-speed and 4.11 gears.
It currently has the original iron heads and a LT1 solid lift cam and a Torker II intake and a new 650 DP carb.
I;m getting new exhaust put on the car with ceramic headers and wanted to know of some good, Head, intake, cam, Carb combos that will reall make this vette scream... I want to keep it very streetable. But would like to get in the 415 - 430 HP range.
I'm really looking for low end toss you in seat....Hell yea... and up to 6,000 RPM power, Its a street car so I plan to keep her at 6,000 RPM or below. Not a race car or drag car, just a weekend toy!
It has 11.1 compression stock. Just looking for some great combos you have found to work great and are very streetable.
I also plan to keep the stock hood, so it must be low... no highrise intakes.
Thanks,

Keep the manifold, 650 DP, use a set of 180 AFR or IK180 Brodix heads.
Your compression combined with a mild enough cam to only pull to
6000 may give you some headaches on pump fuel.
