not alot of info i know but guess as i ahve no ideas

Thats a monster cam but the alloy rocker covers won't make any more power. This thing would be a pig on the street and will need low diff and high stall.

Carby & inlet manifold will probably restrict the heads & cam capabilities. The header & exhaust combo would be relevant for anyone to estimate the HP

so do u reccomend a bigger holley what size?
Isn't the redline a good set up i havea set of funnel web high ris ehere to suit it? just a rough guess, as no one really knows if unsure just add an extra 0 on teh end to be sure lol

FPVGT

I reckon around 400 to 420 hp from the motor.

any ideas to pump it up a little or fix teh bottle necks to reach full power eg bigger hollley or better intake

falcon coupe

The funnelweb matched to an 850dp, also 3" mandrel exhaust with X member should wake up that cam.

gros16,
Is this a street car, street/strip car, or strip only car?

If its a street car, you only need to down spec the cam to match the other components and it will probably make more power than it's making now rather than spending a heap on upgrading the other stuff to match the cam.

If its a strip car keep that cam and start spending
