Approx. Horsepower Rating For My Ford FE??

Gentlemen,
I have a 1964 Ford Galaxie"Z" code, original 390, 4 speed that I have recently warmed over and was looking for an opinion about what kind of ponies my set-up would yield on a dyno. Mods are +.030 forged pistons (approx. 9.5 to 1), 530 lift Comp cam, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Harland Sharp adjustable rocker rollers, factory cast iron long tube headers, 390/406 factory six-pack set-up (350 cfm's on both ends with a 330 cfm in the center) and port/gasket matching on the intake. Any ideas?? Stock 390's of this vintage with a 4bbl are rated @ 300HP....
Thanx

I'll venture to say 310 to 320 at the rear wheels. But only 'cause I'm a good guesser! [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

What is the duration of the camshaft?..I would guess you should be around 400 at the flywheel..I'm not sure how well those cast iron headers work?.. If I remember correctly that intake is pretty much like a stock one in terms of hieght it's just cast to fit the 3 carbs?...Those 3 things could make a big difference one way or the other.

Have you made a 1/4 mile pass on this yet. (200xweight of car) divided by (1/4 mile time cubed)=RWHP
