HP estimates?

Don't really know what board to post this on, so sorry if its in the wrong place. But a buddy of mine has a freshly rebuilt carbed 305. Its bored, got performance heads, and a cam. I'm not sure of the specifics, I got the info second hand. I'm just looking for a rough estimate of a what the HP's would be on an engine like this in an 87 formula with the T5. Any guesses would be appreciated.

190-200 HP maybe? Depends on all the specs of the heads and cam. Get those and post 'em and then youll get a better idea of what hp youd be looking at.
