5.7 engine build

I doubt that cam will put you over 500 HP
Here is a Popular Hot Rodding article where they tested 3 different comp cams on the dyno. Power for the comp 268 peaked at 466

It looks like you have a pretty strong combo already. I'm all for hemi swaps, but I think you would get more bang for your buck by stroking your 360 to add cubes.

I checked out the cams and I could do the bigger one which would be closer to 500 and I had planned on doing headwork to the 5.7s..

But yes it would be cheaper to stroke the 360, and match a cam with my heads (after porting) and prob make just as much power if not more. Oh man I just dont think the hemi would be worth it until I make more power than the 360 block would like to handle.
