How much HP?

I finally got my 305 done and it really hauls. I took my friends stock 89GTA 350 easily and was wondering with my mods how much HP the motor is putting out and what it is putting to the ground. On top of all of the mods listed below I have a cold air induction, crane fireball ignition, air foil,ported plenum and runners, and 3.73 gears in it now but changing to 3.42 by the end of the week when I get my bad pinion bearing done.

87 T/A 5.0 .030 over
Summit TPI cam
204/214@.050 420/442
S/R Torquer 305 heads
SLP Headers and catback
ADS Superchip

I read an article with a test on those torquer 305 heads and they got like 270hp and like 330ft/lbs. They used a little smaller of a cam with less mods than you, so I would say that you are a little above them. What amazed me about the numbers on the tested engine was the amount of torque increase from stock at low rpm. Id be interested to see what you would run at the track. kick a little 350 but for us 305 guys.
peace
