Default hello, newby from qld

hi to all, i am from the sunny coast in qld. i got a brocky vl group a, put the original motor in storage and fitted a 'b cast' head 372 cui stroker. it made 326 rwhp at 5050 rpm. and 464 ft/lb at the engine at 4053 rpm. cam specs are 228@50 with 525 thou lift. most people tell me my engine is at its streetable limit with my current heads and manifold, does anyone know if this is true? i have heard about the torque power and stripmaster manifolds to suit the pre efi heads but i dont know if these will give me much gain. maybe i need to go vn heads. any replies would be much appreciated. thanks jeremy.

howdy thats a lot of lift for the street on a daily basis, you will get over it after a while talk to your engine builder and really be honest street grunt is better than power
