From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
Hard to say without knowing specifics about the cam. "RV cam" usually means low RPM range, meaning not much power. You know, like a stock cam.

You probably have about 175 net HP, like engines are rated from the factory.

Any particular reason for the choice of carb? If it originally had the computer controlled q-jet, you'd be better off with it.
