hi i am new to this, i asked this question in the welcome posts. i think that was my problem. anyhow i will try again.
i have a holden 372 cui stroker, b cast heads,edelbrock torquer, cam specs are 228@50 with 525 thou lift. my engine made 326 rwhp through a 5 spd t5 at 5050 rpm and 464 ft/lb at 4053 rpm at the engine. almost everyone has told me my engine is at its streetable limit, with my current heads and manifold and cam, does anyone know if this is true? i have heard about torque power and strip master manifolds for pre efi heads. maybe yella terra dash 3 heads or vn heads. what do you reckon? thanks jeremy.

What compression & carb are you useing,also the cam is holding you back.Find my post on rebuild of a 336.I'm hoping for for that or more.

That comp & that carb only really you one more Cheap option & that's a cam change.After that it's going to cost.The other thing to get more coments start a thread in holden as you've done here.That's realy where this should be.
