another hp question

I have a 76 f250 w/4.11 gearing and a four speed for the record. the engine is a 360 with 30,000 on it i installed headers with 2.5" dual exaust through flowmaster 40's. got rid of the 2bbl and installed an eddelbrock performer 4bbl intake with a holley 600cfm carb. there is a msd distributar and coil for ignition. I am just wondering if anyone has any idea what kind of horsepower and torque it might be capeable of?

Local shops often have "dyno days". Take it in, pay your $50, and find out.

Exactly. I wish more folks would get some real rear wheel numbers. I'd like to see how they compare to all this desktop dyno hype.

As for your motor, is the cam stock? If so, and you have stock low compression pistons, you're probably in the 275hp range....but that's just a shot in the dark.

And I would say that's using a Texas sized gun...

Not to be the pessimist (sp?), but I would say that 235hp is probably closer, and on the chassis dyno, depending on what tranny, about 165....
