Depending on cam anywere between 200-240 hp is possible with stock piston 305. If you were to replace the pistons with FT's or semi dished I would expect closer to 240hp at the crank.

hmmm....240 doesnt seem bad......yeah well maybe next year when i have the car off the road. I've never really dug into the engine..but i just blew up the 305 in my monte.. i'm gonna use that motor for practice..............all i want is to have some "pull" to it.....i want to scare the people in the passenger seat .................

i love that feeling....
