Trying to get 400hp from a 390?
I'm trying to get 400 horsepower out of a .060 over (401) 390.
Parts list so far
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
33-240-4 - Magnum? Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts This cam
Holley 670
Forged aluminum TRW pistons, 9.7-9.8:1 CR, also have floating wrist pins
MSD Billet distributor, electronic ignition, ignitor II coil
1965 352 heads, the only thing I can see on them is "CAE" and then some numbers, I'll look when I get home.
ARP rod bolts and ARP everything else as well
Can these parts get me there? I'm going to try to dyno it but I'd like to know what I can expect from this.

getting 400hp at crank is not hard for the 390 .
if you want to do tests I recommend Desktop dyno 5 $ 49 on amazon . you can punch in different combos and see what the effects are before buying parts.
looks like it's $52 now
