Edelbrock Rpm package

Hi guys!
I need some help and advise.
I have southern roadcraft cobra with a standard 350 Goodwrench chevy, BW T5 gearbox and 3.3:1 diff that has done 10K miles.
I am looking to rebuild this engine for more power by fitting an Edelbrock Rpm package and possably 383 stroker kit.
Can anyone please tell me if the stock bottom end is up to the job for 400BHP? If there is anyone out there with this sort of package please speak to me! what is it like? I Hear that the Rpm cam is very radical for road use.Edelbrock claim 410BHP is this a true figure?
I spoke to Real Steel and they claim the best they had is 375BHP.
I am planning to import my parts from the states,I nearly fell off my chair when i saw there prices on the net. About 45% cheaper!!!

Many thanxs!
David Clarkson.

RE: Edelbrock Rpm package

Hi David,

Cant help you on the technical side, but I have bought a lot of parts from the States myself, including Gearboxes,Heads, Blocks etc .

I agree that the prices for components in the States look really cheap. However, dont forget to add the shipping costs (£??)and VAT/Import Duty (say 20%);( ;(

It can come as a nasty shock if your not expecting it!!

However, you should still save around 15-20% on UK prices.

Good Luck

David}(
