Default need help with 350

I am currently building a 350 for my 1980 camaro. This will be a street/strip car. I am thinking about using:
Lunati voodoo cam
-268 duration -489 lift
world heads
-2.02/1.60 -64cc

edelbrock victor jr intake
1" taller version

holley 750 cfm carb

hedman hedders
-1 3/4 into 3in collectors

Is this a good setup? anyone with desktop dyno tell me how much horsepower i will be producing? Any different suggestions?

with heads like that and that intake,i would go with alittle more cam.now this is my opinion,if this car is going to be on the drag strip,i would be looking for more power on the top end.i think that intake is good to 7000rpm.the heads you are looking at are going to let it breathe real good.i would be looking at a cam that has alittle more lift(550+/-) and duration(280-292).

Not enough info to determine the camshaft and build give a full rundown, compression, pistons, rods 2 bolt 4 bolt block.... gear ratio, trans, stall. The more info you can provide the better answer you will get.

The compression ratio is 9.5:1
A 4 bolt main block
stock bottom end
stock rods
hooked up to a 4 speed tranny

The factory rods are the weak point right now I dont know how far you are into it you goals or your budget but we can start here. If the factory rods are to be reused they will need to be resized and new bolts and magnafluxing you can get scat rods for close to the same price and be much stronger. Did you already buy the heads(check out petes head flow chart sticky)The factory crank need to be magnafluxed but they will handle quite a bit of power(detonation kills a bottom end). A cam of a larger duration will negativly affect the dynamic compression ratio because the static compression is too low. I think you are in the ball park with the duration depending on the other cam specs. I too would suggest the dual plane manifold the 750 carb is to large for the single plane and could be a little big for the dual plane. My guess with the 9.5 to 1 compression is 450 hp. Give me a link to the cam card and I will run it on dd for you. We put together a junk engine last year, 350, factory crank, factory rods, hand honed and ringed unbalanced cast pistons, junk yard l31 vortec heads stock rockers, steel shim head gasket, dual plane 600 carb(too small) 79 camaro 4.56 gear automatic, 270 comp cam it ran a 8.23 in the 1/8th I think if we would havespent more time tuningit would have easily been in the 7s. We changed the cam to a smaller duration because of a bad lifter (24? duration and itended up running consistantmid 8s.

if you keep it under 6000 rpms your botem end will live if you went threw all that trouble to pull the motor, machine this machine that you can stroke it 2 383 for a liite more cubes rule.
