what kind of power?
Ok Ive wanted to buy a 92 trans am with t's and a 305 TPI but no dice, sooooo I found me a 92 bird that needs some paint and some other small things. I wanted to know what kind of power I can get out of her if I swap in an L98 cam and heads with a TPI set up to this engine? Its of course a 305 TBI now
. I know the 305 TPI for 92 had 230 hp and the 350 had 245 so I wanted to try and get at least 230 for now, Iwas thinking maybe LT1 top end as well, any idea, numbers?

Putting L98 heads on a 305 will lower your compression, making an already POS engine run even worse.
