horsepower from vortec combo
What kind of horsepower could I expect to gain if I put a set of vortec heads and intake on a 350 tpi with all the usual bolt on's and free mods available. (ported plenum, afpr, pulleys, tb bypass, maf descreened, CAI, injectors, 1.5 rr's, msd coil, smog delete, high-flow cat, flowmaster, 3.73's, corvette servo, B+M shift kit, LCA's w/ lowering bracket)
I already did searches and havn't really found anything on this question.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: horsepower from vortec combo
Also when I had my car dyno tuned I had the wrong spark plugs in. I was suppose to have the long tapper seat plugs. It was like 2 months later that I stumbled across a thread on this sight about using the wrong plugs on vortec heads. I noticed alot better throttle response after I changed to right plugs.
