Opinions on Possible Build
Hello, I joined this forum a fews years back. At the time I had an 85 Trans Am, I regretfully sold it but now have bought an 89 Firebird. I am thinking of building an engine to these specs.

Hooker 2210 Long tubes and dual 3in exhaust


I realize due to how they dyno motors, it will not be 500hp in car. My car has full accessories but no smog equipment. I am curious as to what HP I can expect on a motor like this. Also, what kind of RWHP numbers would I be looking at through a TH-350? I appreciate all input.

I also would like to know what a good stall range would be and what rear end gears would be good. I'd appreciate any input.

Figure a 22% loss through most any good automatic trans and non-Ford-9"-axle. I'd go 2400 stall and 3.42:1
