what kind of power output can I expect?

i built the bottom end a few years back so i dont want to rebuild it with forged components. anyways, heres what i've got..

-1972 corvette 350 bored 20 over crank is factory from the 72 350
-hyperutectic flat top pistons
-1988 305 TPI rebuilt heads..just a freshen up on seals springs etc.
-1988 TPI intake holley 58mm throttlebody
-flow tech coated headers 1 5/8" 3" collectors with 3" maybe 4" inch exhaust
-cam is 272 duration, 455 lift 110 LSA im going to put 1.6 rockers to bump up the lift to 480 or so.


I was thinking I would like to add a supercharger, a friend of mine has the P1SC charger hes sellin with intercooler from his 99 SS camaro, but he wants 2500 so Im still not sure if im going to get it.

I would guess about 250hp, I would'nt charge this flat top 350 with 58cc iron heads.

.480 lift with the stock press-in studs and without machining the guides down is really pushing your luck.

Thats not what I'm saying. It doesn't sound too bad. Don't go with the 1.6 rockers. It should be ok with .455 lift. I'm uncertain how the computer will like like that 110* lobe sep though. TPI is not known for its HP production hence the low estimate. If you can get a PROM that will work with that cam it should make a nice torquey street motor.

i was going to get a Holley DFI unit to get the most out of the motor. I know there a little on the expensive side but im sure its worth it just in the gas savings knowing everything is running optimal.
