Depends, could not be running to it's potential. Cam is degreed wrong, timing off, too rich, too lean... etc, etc.

Get it on the dyno. Fordspeed will do you right.

His car is running like ass. Has some fuel problems to straighten out.

Whatever the purpose of your post was, I'm not sure.

Mine has gt40p's with cam and edelbrock intake and made 282, but my car is completely different than his. He could make the same #'s, or he could make a lot less. Only way to know is to spend 100 bucks and have an hour dyno tune.

I would pick up a mild cam and get it tuned. That would help you a lot.

There is an off-the-shelf Crane cam that works well with those heads and the combination that you have. Let me find the part number and I will post it here for you.
