10.6 compression
speed pro hyperutic pistons with teflon skirts
eagle cast crank
eagle sir i beam rods
solid comp cam 532/555 lift 106 lobe @ .50 250/260

I had almost this exact same combo, switch for a Victor Jr. intake and a Comp Hyd. .292 / .501 Magnum cam and made in the 425 range with Dart Sportsman 200's (the older version heads). This motor pushed my 3500 lb. Olds Cutlass to a best of 12.1's (consistant 12.3's) on the motor. I hit it with a 125hp NOS Powershot system and went 11.61@123mph with wheelspin. Be advised that with a Carb'd motor 10.6 compression is "borderline" for pump gas. I used to run Sunoco 94 with around 36 degrees of timing and when I had the heads "freshened up" they said it was boderline detonating and that I should either knock the timing back or mix in a little Cam II to raise the octane level.

I would agree.
I had a Vortec headed 383 with 10.5:1, and in the warm weather it wanted more octane. And that was at a very conservative 32* total.

i'd say switch to a rpm air gap since your motor should rarely see the high side of 6,500 rpms and expect around 450 hp.

I'd say the 425-450 hp should happen, but the stealth will definately cost you about 10-15 upper hp compared to a Victor Jr. The rest looks good, but you'll want to make sure to have a good stall (3400 or more) and rear gear combo to take advantage of the powerband (I'm guessing a 6600-6800 shift point). The compression ratio is borderline, and I'd sugesst also backing out the timing a little or mixing in a few gallons of race fuel with 93 premium to keep detonation out of the picture.
Good luck!
