Your blower has more volume though. That's my biggest fear. Can my 2.3 keep up without heat issues.
Plus that extra .5.1 squeeze is going to help you too.
Of course if you can do that with a 417 then the less volume of a 376 would make up for much of that on mine.

I'm thinking you might be disappointed with the cam and not have quite the power you did have. Thats fine and dandy as long as you know up front

I could end up with more if my blower can keep up and even more if I can get the boost to 13 and 14 psi being forged. That's my only thing. I'd certainly have less NA. But I dont' know if the Maggie can keep up.
You are right though. Not knowing what cam it has kind of puts a damper on it. It would be easy enough to do a cam swap as it sits on my engine stand. But that would defeat two of the purposes of the crate motor. 1, plug and play and 2, saving money.
