Default horsepower

just curious, but i was wondering about how much hp i am getting out of my 77 L82? the internals are stock, 9to1 c/r, edelbrock rpm intake, road demon 625, long tube headers with 3 inch collectors, 2.5 inch true duals and dynomax mufflers, and mallory hei.

now, my engine is similar to the gm crate 350ho....if i went to the cam they use in it, would i be close to 330 hp, too?

I would imagine it would be somewhere close to that. Actual hp rating means squat its how the car runs for YOU. If your happy with its power it doesn't matter what the hp is really. Problem is a car for me would almost never have too much hp for too long.
