Need some pointers
OK Heres the story. I have a 350 with .20 over flat top pistons (forged) everything balanced. Stock rods, stock main caps (4bolt main). Cam will be custom gind (what I don't know yet) maybe smething like 296/304* .539/.558 on gross lift. power band is like 2500-6500. Plans are to run a 6-71 blower for street use. Question is what about on the heads and carbs? Looking at Brodix and Dart Aluminum heads with 222cc intake and 208intake valves. max lift on the head is .700 I wouldn't think more than .600 or so.
Need some help or some advise on this. Would shine some light on someof the questons. thanks DarkRose94

Someone posted this link about head flow comparisons for LT1/4 motors. Some good info.

You don't need to go over 200cc on the intake for a 350, especially under 6500rpms. Everyone on here is gonna recomend AFRs, as they are excellent heads, but pricey as well.

Re: Need some pointers (korvetkeith)
I've never heard of the predators in a hot-rod application except or a show truck featured in Summit. I've heard they are primarily a truck and tractor pull monster truck sorta thing, they were on some of the older USA-1s I remember. They do look trick however, but they also look like they would need lots of hood clearance or a hole to peek out of.
