Default refreshing 350 small block

i am trying to refresh my 350 small block motor.

i want to go with new alum heads, new cam.


i am thinking about going with trick flow alum heads and a new trick
flow hydraulic roller cam to match the heads?? does anyone like or
dislike trickflow heads? please give me some feedback on trickflow??

i am trying to make around 500 hp and around 450 torque??

i talked to the tech at summit and he said that i should be able to
do that with no problem????

he recommended the 558 lift cam from trickflow i beleive he said the
duration was 245-254?? with a 112 LSA?

i want some thing with a nice rumpty rump sound but not too
radical for the street?

My cam know is a comp 280 roller cam with a 525 lift on intake and
exhaust.


its a nice cam but it has no rumpty rump sound. a little to quiet
for my taste?? it idles pretty smoothly and u wouldnt think i have
any hot cam as it sounds pretty normal??

any suggestions or advice? i like the price of the trick flow stuff
but i noticed that AFR heads are way more expensive than the
trick flow heads? why is this? thanks for any help or advice.
