HP numbers and suggestions on setup
This is the set-up we put in my Camaro last month. Pulled out the TBI 305 and droped in a 350. No ones real sure on how much horse power and torque I should be getting, so was hoping for a ruff number. Also any suggestions on how to improve this setup. Thanks

So we're talking (.440 lift) towing cam, full 3" exhaust with headers, intake and 600 CFM carb... without any info on the heads it's hard to say... maybe 300 Hp if the heads are decently machined.
If the heads are out of a '72 I'd guess the valve seats aren't hardened but that's beside the point. I'd put a new cam made for a higher power band and some High Performance Aluminum heads on the top of the list for that one.

The cam, headers and carb I got new in the box cheap from a friend who ended up not using them on his Trans-Am.. thats why I put them on. Otherwise I would have gone with something different.
I was plaining on putting 1988 centerbolt 305HO heads on off a Monty SS for the compression bump, but I'm still having trouble finding out if thats a good idea or not(Think my friend still has them if need be). Was shooting for a 350hp-350 on an extremely low budget.
FYI we didn't do anything to the heads besides new springs and valve seals..
This car is my daily-driver if that helps any.
