horse power question

I have a 93 gmc with a original hp rating of 210 hp. I swaped out the tbi for a 600cfm 4bbl carb. I put on block hugger headders from the headders i am running 3in pipes and no cat to the muffler.

Re: horse power question

not with that setup you have....you didn't gain a whole lot by switching to carb and doing exhaust, maybe up to 230 hp at most.
