how much horsepower am i making?
I plan on rebuilding my 82 Camaro for my senior project and this includes a large amout of work. I need a rough estimate of how much horsepower I will be making, specs follow:
1981 350
All emmissions will be removed
Stock heads, ported + polished
Q-jet, non emmissions from a 1970 Truck 350
Open element filter
Performer Rpm Air gap intake manifold
10.9:1 compression
Keith Black pistons
Real dual exhaust with dual flowmasters
hooker super comp headers
Thanks

Its going to entirely depend On your Cam choice, and the extent of "port and polish"
Also, I dont think there is a spreadbore version of the Airgap, Plus it wont fit under the hood anyway. You may be better off with just the perofmer RPM spreadbore, 149.00 from summit.

Just another Hot Rod kid, or thats what they all tell me.

You'll have a hard time pushing 300 at the flywheel, even with a nice cam.
Forget it.
Im a student too. If you want to make nice power, take the money that you were going to sink into those boat anchor heads, and go with some Vortecs. They have "budget power" written all over em.
Then call up Crane Cams, and get a nice mild cam to go with those heads. If you do it just right, you can get upwards of 375 EASILY.

1980 Camaro, '88 Police 350 engine, Headers, full exhaust, completely redone, my baby!
1988 Iroc-Z L98, MSD 6a, Accel coil, K+N's, Airfoil, Coolant Bypass, Flowmaster, Gears, Late model Bose, I like the 80 better
