i had to guess abit on the cam and some other numbers, you didnt give the lsa.

Knock of 15-20% and it should be accurate to your net flywheel numbers

My go at it came up with 359hp@4900 and hellacious low-range torque that tapered off quickly at about 4000 RPM (probably due to the TPI).

lol.. I would have posted the graph too, but I dyno'd it on another computer that's not hooked up to the net. That's almost exactly how mine looked except I used the Chevy 383 instead of modifying the Chevy 350 like you did.

I used a 850cfm single plane manifold, pretty close to an lt1. I dont know the flow numbers on a 58mm throttle body, i'd guess close to 1000. you gained over 50hp and lost about as much torque at the low end,

I'd go for it.
