20 horsepower ? It really depends on what cam and heads you're going with. Don't even think about reusing the stock 305 cam and/or heads.

------------------
92 Z28 L98 350
---------------
Ported and polished heads, ported stock TPI base, ported plenum, Comp Cams XR270HR-10 cam (lift .495/.502 duration 218/224 lobe separation 110), Edelbrock TES headers, LT4 valve springs, Crane AFPR, Flowmaster catback with LT1 style tips, MSD coil & wires...

Don't use the 305 heads or cam you will choke the motor. I have heard of people running low 13's high 12's with the factory intake. However the factory base plate is the biggest restriction on the TPI motors. I would try to find an edelbrock or TPIS intake if you can afford it.

The only thing im using from the orginal engine is the tpi. theres no way i would use the same cam or heads. im probably going to run vortech heads.
