I had a similar engine with a tad smaller blower but running the same boost you want (6lbs). My e heads were around 320 I made 770 hp, oh yea I forgot I had a 455 anyway after running it s cooking of years finally getting my ETs down to 9 teens the bottom end let loose, it’s that I didn’t have an aftermarket block thing..........me bad! Just something to think about. I bought one shortly after!!
