That engine will need a scoggin' dickey intake, unless you are using newer heads on it. A stock chip will work, but will not give you optimal power, and may run rough. I suggest a custom burnt chip, or Accel engine management system.

As for power, it all depends, I would say between 300 and 350 horse at least. But, like I said, its hard to say.

May get you low 13's high 12's
