Mike,

With your cam/heads you might not be that far off. 345 at the wheel, add 10% (or whatever your favorite loss percentage is) and you'd be around 345 + 34 = 379 fwhp. Not as much as you'd like, but in the neighborhood. What is the compression ratio? Timing, fuel, etc. might pick the rest "missing" up - has that been extensively optimized or did you folks stop after a pull or two?

If you want more RPM out of it, that is, power at higher RPM you might need a different cam and go to solid lifters if you wish to be turning 7k+, and of course that could necessitate other changes in the engine with crank/rods/pistons etc. depending on what is in there now.
