Nice, stroker with 302 heads, that thing will be a torque monster. 400Hp should not be hard to acheive. I don't really agree with that cam though, I think the XE series is better. In my opinion the xe274 would make the same HP with more torque. But hey go with what ever you want, everyone wants different things out of their cams, I have a xe284 in my 318 and love it even though EVERYONE says its too big for my set up... haha
