I just rebuilt my 350. I put a edelbrock cam performer RPM intake and edelbrock 650 carb and edelbrock valve springs that match the cam along with a edelbrock double roller timing chain. The car has no power at all.Anyone have any clue or ideas on why it has no power?

What heads and which cam? I have the RPM package and my car runs like a champ and has more throttle response and power than I expected plus my power brakes work great too.

what do you mean by no power?

check your vacuum.

Sounds like your manifold is leaking.
Pull your air filter and snuff the carb the engine should die if not you have an intake leak.

You may have the cam 180 off. It will run but no power

My guess would be the RPM cam. That cam really blows. Mine was a pig until high RPM's. With an automatic and a stall, it might not be so bad, but with a standard, the motor was useless. The RPM setup is good, but there are much better cams.

street: SMALLER IS BETTER! this applies for 90% of the hot rodders out there who tinker. if know more than the average home mechanic you can toss out this idea(partialy). for the street in your car i would have gone no bigger than 218 duration and probably smaller around 212 degrees. this would have made a very fun to drive vehical,sure it may not have sounded COOL but it would pull hard!
if thats the stock motor(asuming it a 74) it has low compression and works better with smaller cams.
