I would say about 270hp max and about 300lb/ft max after those mods. They aren't that much so you can only get what you can. But don't take my word for it... See what these guys have to say

Any suggestions for more bolt-ons? I figure an Intake but that is 500 bones so is there anything cheaper than that I left out? [worship]

Wanted CObra my guess is low only 230rwhp which comes to about 275 at the flywheel. As for recommended bolt ons looks like you have everything except a Mass air meter. That would go good with your bigger throttle body. Definately add some timing too. If you are looking for track times you are going to want some steeper gears in the rear end, my vote goes to 4.10's. Putting an alumnum driveshaft on is cheap and losing rotating weight will help accelleration in the quarter. Also a set of slicks would be a good idea. Looks like if you want more power though you are going to have to start thinking about a Heads, Cam and Intake combo [Whoo Whooooo!]

94GT my guess for you is 212rwhp. I try and guess low so that when you dyno you aren't dissappointed. Good Luck guys

So as far as Heads...would the Performer Intake work best with edlebrock heads? What does everyone think of AFR 165's? I dont know about a cam just yet becuase to me when you put a cam in your car you have graduated to pure strip. But thats just me...Also thanks to everyone for the input..it all helps...Gotta say WHAT UP to my homies in Fairfield, AC COBRA, 88 LX AND 5091!

An Edelbrock performer that is port matched to some 185's with some 1.6 roller rockers and your stock cam should be VERY nice. You can drive my car again if you wanna see what Edelbrock heads and intake matched up together feel like... But I vote 185 heads. And as for a cam, as long as your lift is below .550 you are looking at a VERY streetable car still. A pure strip cam is something like a solid roller or something like that. I must say that a cam is always a great addition to the modification family. I am looking to put one in before too long... Just haven't decided which one [Smile]
A cam will definitely help your car breath better hp numbers [Smile]

Oh and as for heads I highly reccommend the AFR 165's. Cam doesn't mean you're purely strip. I have an E-cam in my car and it may be bigger than stock but still a relatively small cam. In a post this weekend FastDamnit posted "Victor JR.'s, TW's, or 165's w/ a professional port job, RPM intake, and a cam with 224 duration and 540+ lift will take you into the 11's, and that is very streetable. I definately vote 165's on a 306, go 185's if you have a stroker [patriot]

Yeah thanks Droptop...I believe it is Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords that is testing different heads out as well as intakes. I believe it was the performer intake and the afr 165's or 185's that beat out all competition. The articles are long and very informative...for me anyway cuz I dont know shit...Thanks again...James
