new camaro, got question

My dad built a camaro for me and gave it to me for graduation....the hp and torque numbers he gave me dont sound right to me. see sig. for mods. also if anyone has any suggestions or changes i should make u input would be great.

P.S. for all those who wanna say go 350....i like the 335

The best CC was able to get from a 334 stroker was 329hp using TrickFlow twisted wedge heads. 365hp seems a bit optimistic, the torque numbers seem "about" right.

i think its about 20-25 hp/tq too high. im thinkin this because it still has the stock air filter housing, and stock intake manifold just polished and ported. it also has the stock prom in it and it hasnt been adjusted yet. i have a jet stage 2 chip, 180 degree thermostat, and a 176degree fan switch.....would any of these help gain that 20-25hp/tq??

I'd be willing to bet that you'd loose power with that Jet chip. The thermostat and switch won't add anything, except peace of mind about your operating temp.
The first thing you need to do is start burning proms for your engine before adding other things. After that a TPIS bigmouth , accel or Lingenfelter base and SLP siamesaed (sp) runners would probably net you around 20+ HP.

My friend has an Accel Street Ram in his pickup that he did a tpi conversion on, i've driven it and the throttle response is great and he "says" he got a 25hp gain at 4500 over a ported stock plenium. Does anyone sell this intake as a replacement kit like the HSR or is it just a fuel injection converstion kit??
