Need more cam specs. Carb dialed in properly? What are your timing specs? What about exhaust?

Re: how much hp?

cam specs
advertised duration 282/288
duration at 50 230/236
lift 510/520
110

I believe the carb is dialed in correctly I used vacuum gauge and got it real close.
timing is good at 36
15/8 headers to y pipe and side exit 3'

Re: how much hp?

What is the compression ratio? Is top dead center really at zero deck and you know since you measured?
If everything was assembled/measured/built correctly and you have at least 10:1 compression than I think 350 horsepower at the rear wheels is fair but since I'm not a carb guy and I don't know if the size is right and all I think a ball park of 325 on the low side, 375 on the high. Lower than 325 and you have a problem. Higher than 375 and you're probably on a dynojet.

Ditto. I think you'd be knocking on the door of 400whp.

Re: how much hp?

would be good if I was knocking on400whp. I think that its close. the motor is a zz4 shortblock zz4 heads runs real good. I don't know if the compression is 10.1 but its close. I had the heads milled to 60cc to retain some compression. Also a 40 thousandths head gasket. burns rubber all the way through first and second gear then its going 90mph
