HP expectations?
It looks like I am going to be picking up the following heads for my 305 TBI Lo3:
World sr torquer heads
1.94" intake 1.5" exhaust valves
Compcams aluminum roller rocker arms, Upgraded springs
Ported runners
What kind of HP can I expect with an edelbrock TBI performer Intake. What kind of performance should I expect, is there anything else I should do to my engine? Or can I just bolt everything right in what about a cam?
Thanks,
All help is VERY appreciated.

I would expect a gain of at least 50 hp with your mods. A new cam would make much better use of your good flowing heads and intake.
A good perfomance cam would probably give you another 30 hp.

What is a "good" cam? I want to keep MPG, like 20 on the highway. Do a lot of trips to vegas lol
From what you said... If I do all those mods plus a full exhaust with headers, should I be able to hit 300 Flywheel HP with 20 mpg?
