How much am I bottleing up the new 350 with the 305 exhaust?

I installed the 250hp (rated) 350 but still have the edelbrock tes headers off of the 305. The ypipe converges to a 21/4 I think. The cat is gutted but the rest of the exhaust is 2.25 or 2.5 single. Is the engine able to breath properly?

You'll definitely benefit from a 3" exhaust on there.
