450 HP is a tall order for a stock stroke 318 even with those goodies. You didn't say stroker, so I assume stock stroke. Now throw a 4" arm in it and that changes stuff.
We may have to go with the 4" arm to get into the numbers then. I had mentioned the 450hp mark as edelbrock had stated in their kit that it would 415 hp engine with their kit. And I know that's probably more of a meaning of "a potential" if all the other components are there. Before we order anything we will do more research to achieve those numbers. I'll get the specs on the cam.
