Re: How much HP are you guys putting out?
when I bought the car it had 232 (dyno sheet to prove). Now going by the seat of my pants guage till I can get on the dyno I have around 500, maybe a bit more. I'm VERY happy with that. What I'm not happy about is the 120 miles per tank of gas I get.

Re: How much HP are you guys putting out?
My 305 tbi was fun from about 0-30 mph.
Built a 383 (roughly 475 crank hp) and it was great for the street. Put a blower on it and now its unreal.
400hp makes for a quick 3rd gen and won't have terrible mpg.

Re: How much HP are you guys putting out?
i have 501FWHP and 520 FWTQ, so its somewhere around 400+ to the wheels. It hauls, and later this summer im planning some upgrade to make it haul a little more.
Power is great, but if your suspension cant handle it, its pretty much worthless.
