What do you guys think I will be putting down with my new combo. Im curious to see and compare to the other guy with almost the same mods as me. Track numbers and dyno numbers one day would be good too.

Heres my combo

306 with Pro-Flo pistons (forged, lightweight)
Weiand Stealth intake manifold
Trick flow stage 1 cam
Stock heads with thermactor bumps removed
Holley 650 cfm double pumper with mechanical secondaries
Stock headers, Offroad x, flowmasters

This will be running in my 5 speed 85 gt with 4.10 gears.
SS lower control arms, smog and AC delete, aluminum driveshaft, draglites, lakewood 50/50s, B springs, etc etc

What numbers do you guys think it will put down and what do you think it will run at the track. I just wanted to build a simple combo and see how it works.

I would guess maybe the 240-260 range or so. I would say with new heads and headers you would be upper 200's like 280-300 somewhere.

I ran out of cash for the heads so I just have a nice built bottom end. Aluminum heads are definately on the list of things to do next year.
