Pipemax wall of text incoming, I pulled a bunch of specs out my ass, but this is a ballpark of what you need - nothing too hard here, you can do this sh\t no probs.
Based off 7800rpm peak & 108% VE - which you can do.
Flow requirements are including manifolds! - factor in 10-15cfm drop from manifold & you're safe enough.



319.961 Cubic Inches @ 7800 RPM with 108.0 % Volumetric Efficiency PerCent

Required Intake Flow between 249.7 CFM and 263.9 CFM at 28 Inches
Required Exhaust Flow between 188.6 CFM and 206.5 CFM at 28 Inches

600 RPM/Sec Dyno Test Lowest Low Average Best
Peak HorsePower 551.6 574.2 585.6 596.9

7th Harmonic= 5.559 (Torque is greatly reduced, even though Tuned Length)
8th Harmonic= 4.889 (Torque is greatly reduced, even though Tuned Length)
Note> 2nd and 3rd Harmonics typically create the most Peak Torque
4th Harmonic is used to package Induction System underneath Hood

------- Operating RPM Ranges of various Components -------

Camshaft Intake Lobe RPM = 6996 Exhaust Lobe RPM = 7121

Note=> Lobe RPMs are only BallPark estimations

Minimum Intake Valve Lift to prevent Choke = .647 Lift @ 7800 RPM
Minimum Exhaust Valve Lift to prevent Choke = .582 Lift @ 7800 RPM

Intake Valve Area + Curtain Area operating RPM Range = 5675 to 7675 RPM

Intake Valve Diameter RPM Range = 5834 to 7834

Intake Flow CFM @28in RPM Range = 5775 to 7775
___________________________________________________________________________

Best estimate RPM operating range from all Components = 5738 to 7738

Note=>The BEST Engine Combo will have all Component's RPM Ranges coinciding

Looks like a plan if this class last long enough for us to get the combo together. If not well have a fun bracket car. I have pipemax and engine pro did the group buy in not long ago on speed talk, those programs really make me want to start building my own intakes and headers and seeing if i can find gaines by just spending some time with a tig torch.

You can, but not as big as you may expect!

I don't think you have to get funky, roughly 1.3HP/ci is easy enough if you got enough head, & I reckon you do.

Will the spark plug location in those AMC heads not choke off the flame travel with over 12.5 comp?

With the 427 we can get over 12.5 with a flattop but without the sweep area id imagine its going to need a ilttle dome.

A lot of dome for sure.
