84 T/A time

I was wondering what some of you guys think I might be pushing for horsepower and a 1/4 mile time. I have a 383 stroker, hooker 650 DP carb, Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold and cam, inverted domed pistons, 882 casting heads for now(soon to be world products motown 220's),Th-700r4 tranny with B&M shift kit, with 3.73 gears and an eaton posi unit. So what do you guys think my car will do? Not bad for $500 and only $200 invested.

I forgot to say that I also have a TCI streetfighter torque converter with about 3200 stall. Also I want to know numbers with and without the heads.

I think 87tpi350kid wants the cam's specs. BTW how did you get all of that so cheap?

Based on your budget and use of an Edelborck cam (outdated cam technology) I would say you are in the 300 to 330hp range. None the less that is pretty stout given your budget.

The cam shaft is being upgraded to a lunati voo doo cam with 241/249 deg at .050 with .525/.546 lift. the heads are also being upgraded to motown 220's or a set of AFR210cc. How much power do you think these mods will add to my car?
