What Horsepower am I looking at?

This winter I plan on doing a few bolts on's to my car.
I have recently done a TPI350 Swap
I have the Eldebrock Runners, and Manifold.

I have about 900 dallors i wanting to spend on my car.

I was thinking heads with 185cc intake flow, and 65cc combustion
Or would a good CAM, 1.6rr's, Harder Springs be better?

I have been doing alot of researching.

What kind of horsepower am I looking at now? rough estimate, i am assuming about 250, 260

With heads?
assuming 310

w/o heads but w/ cam, rr'ss, springs?
assumine 320

By spring I wanting at least 300rwhp.

Need to do some more research,
Also you need to port your Eldebrock base & runners because there not much better then stock.
You need to post more info on the car,

Re: What Horsepower am I looking at?

Information on the Car.

Its a 1987 Firebird TransAM

Bought with a TPI305.

I have put a GTA Dash inside it, GTA Bumper, and GTA Hood, as well as wheels.

I have done a TPI350 Swap keeping the T5 transmission for now.
As of now the engine is stock. It came out of a 1989 Corvette. However heads are not aluminum? Big heated discussion over that.

I have already purchased Eldebrock Runners, and Manifold
before install I am wanting to have the runners ported and the manifold ported, possibly siamesed. Also the stock plenum ported. I have painted the plenum painted orange, and sanded down the little flares in the middle so the aluminum shines(looks pretty dang sick)

Before the plenum there is a little V-Shaped item that screws into the Throttle Body.

And that is all i have done to the car as far as I know of.
