maybe consider the edelbrock top end kit with e-tec heads and performer rpm cam, maybe 1.6 rockers. it will never make enough power, and you will always wish you had done something different to get more power.

so so very true.... power is like a drug, very addictive..
if I were to do it over I would have gone forced induction..... I think about 800hp would be enough!!1 p:-)

But if you go this direction, with the higher compression pistons, cam, HEADS, good exhaust and intake.... yes, you may achieve your 450hp goal.
I went from a Edelbrock carb to a Mighty Demon, and picked up about 20tq, and 10hp....
with a 2gpm loss in fuel economy... currently at about 10mpg...
