Possible 1/4 mile times and horsepower?

I am wondering if this combo is possibly good for 300 crank horsepower and low 14s in the 1/4

350 bored 40 over
Edelbrock Performer 600cfm carb
Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake
Hooker Competition Shorty Headers
Stock 305 Heads of a 305 from a 85 Trans Am

TH-700 R4
Transgo Shift Kit
2200-2500 Stall
Stock Rearend with 3.08 gears
True Dual 2in pipes into Glasspacks

I just built a 350 for my 1986 Camaro with parts I had laying around. The car was a factory 305 LG4. I had a dished piston 350 from a 1979 Camaro with low miles. I bolted on the original 416 casting 305 heads to bump up the comp. I installed a mild cam and a performer intake, shorty headers, 4.10 gears and 3000 stall converter. Car ran 12.64 @ 106.74 with a 1.71 60ft time on drag radials. Car still has the A/C and computer still hooked up. I think it should be about 325 crank HP. Car wieghs 3410 with driver.

I don't think it will make 300hp.Depends on those heads and what size cam is it.If you have some vortecs and a edelbrock performer cam to match I would say yes but if the cam is stock and so are the heads it could be anywhere between 210-280hp.It just depends,we need more info on the cam and what is your compression ratio. Things like that would be helpful.You have good exhaust and a good intake but a little bit bigger cam will be needed if it is stock.As for low 14s, you don't need 300hp to run low 14s.If your car has good suspension,sticky tires,and a bigger stall you could do it easily with a stock L98 which is about 245hp.Hell there are guys on this board with just sticky tires and a stall running very low 14s easily with a stock L98.300hp will probably get you into the high 13s if your car is setup right.Some more gear would also help too.3.42's.
