Or you can go with a nonstreetable solid roller setup and maybe hit your mark. Its a very bold statement, goodluck to ya, and im not saying you cant do it, im just saying when everything is all said and done, chances are you wont hit that goal. try something realistic like 450 -475ish, way more obtainable. Im not going with the golen long block… im doing the 396 short block with afr heads bc ive heard that they are the best flowing heads out there, and a much more agressive cam than what comes in in the 396 long block bc that motor only put down 520bhp. SO i guess I should say that it wouldnt be a problem hitting 550whp but i deff think with: Golen 396 short block AFR Heads very agressive came …that i should be able to come close to the low 500whp range --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rankin-my-car-is-not-a-factory-freak/243507)._
