Chris, I hope I'm not bothering you. You know exactly what you're talking about. I have a pair of Edelbrock 6037's with stage 2 port work. I think I might sell them and get Victor Jr's. (I have a machined OEM 5.0 block and boxes of speed parts.) But back to my questions, what #'s can I expect with 93-94 octane in a 11.0:1 compression, naturally aspirated 306 5.0 motor with a custom "Ed Curtis" cam, Edelbrock heads, a Performer RPM intake, 70mm TB, etc. Nitrous oxide will be run ocassionally. I'll "pay" for my emission stickers and run a H-pipe with cats, but I want an 11 second street car. Will a 11.0:1 306 make 400 hp or more?

Thanks again, Chris!
