Hey guys, I havent posted in a long while. I have the chance to pick up a 91 LX 5.0 5-speed. She has a few miles on her so i was thinking of having the motor rebuilt to a 306 with forged pistons. Now im curious how much power is capable with a 306 and the Eldebrock Performer package heads and matching intake? I will have comp cams grind a cam that is suitable for this package. Bottom line is can i make 375 HP with a 306 and Edelbrock performer parts plus exhaust and other bolt ons?

What about the AFR 165's. Will those heads be worth 20rwhp over the Edelbrock heads? I just want the best bang for the buck with a 306 N/A.
