Ok guys i just bought a 89 camaro that was a 305 TBI, but was converted to a carburated 350. I was wondering if someone could give me a ballpark figure of HP and Torque.
-350 (block from chevy 94 1500)
-9.5:1 compression
-headers
-dynomax exhaust
-edlebrock RPM intake
-don't know what kind of heads (supposed be descent) they have had valve job done ($400 worth of work)
-Comp Cam
268 lift
218 duration
110 lobe seperation
Not sure what else is need for cam specs
-1.6 rockers (not sure if roller)
- 750 holley carb
Any guess/prediction would be great
Thanks
Tom

Zio,

Double check the cam lift spec. 0.268" is too low, even for a stock cam.

Just a guess here! With the car properly tuned you should get at least 350 RWHP and over 400 RWTQ!! Probably closer to 400 RWHP though!!

No way. I would say 375hp at the flywheel not at the rear wheels. No way. Who knows what your heads flow. They could be choking the engine into only 350 HP !!

Thanks guys. I didn't think that i would be anywhere near the 350 HP and torque mark. I figured that i would be at 275-300 HP at the fylwheel. any more quess or prediction would be a ppreciated.
thanks

325hp, 375 ft/lbs at the flywheel, at best...assuming cast heads with a good valve job and such

MeanYeallowZ i think you have the best guess. I guess it is not to bad of a street engine. If i added better cast iron heads or aluminum heads how much more power would i gain? Once again i know that it will very from head to head.
thanks
Tom
