How much horse power---350

I just rebuilt a 350, all factory internals including cam. What is the horse poower rating or would it be running with my small mods. Like whats listed in my signature.
I cant seem to find any decent ratings.
If this is the right place. THANKS

Depending upon exactly which "factory internals" you're talking about, the headers probably gained you somewhere between 5-10%. Otherwise, power is dictated by the heads and cam, with a small contribution from compression ratio.

The Edelbrock carb is a downgrade from most anything else out there, and the RPM intake most likely is too much for most any factory cam.

Re: How much horse power---350

Kinda figured i didnt feel a whole lot with the carb an intake combo but enough just enough to feel. Guess i shoulda thrown out the extra couple hundred bucks for a nice cam lifter combo. Like a small .488 or something. Im just trying to stay away from put studs, guides, and springs in right now. whats the biggest i can go with, without pulling the factory studs right outta the heads.

Reports vary. 0.488" lift will require new valve springs - most any upgraded cam will require new valve springs. It's the spring pressure that pulls out rocker studs.
