I think you have a solid 10sec. car. I built a similar combo in that it had a solid lift flat tappet cam and it ran 10:60s in a 3200lbs camaro with a powerglide and pump gas! It also had a nice set of ported track 1 brodix heads. It has been one of my favorite motors I have built. With that turbl 350 first gear, its going to rip the tires off if its tuned right. Make sure you have the fuel flow you need and about 36-38 degrees timing at 3000 rpm max!

I just dynoed my 12:1 408 Ford with a 680 lift roller and AFR 205 cc heads and it made 580hp. Just to give you an idea. I would say your guess of 550 at the crank would be pretty close. It sounds like a nice piece. Good luck with it.

my pump gas 383 went 11.80's with a 557 flat tappet cam, you should be in the tens easily with a brake,, your cam seems like it has alot of lift for the duration and lower compression.. I'll trade ya engines! lol
