How much power comes from a 305 with the lt1

How much power will come out of my 305 when i put the LT1 intake manifold on it? What kinda HorsePower increases should i expect? The stock 305 is 180HP right? so maybe i can get atleast 230HP out of it, right?

The intake alone isn't probably going to gain you much more than 10-15 HP. If you change the cam profile, and modify the heads to flow better through larger valves, you'll likely realize a lot more gain from the intake.
