Default almost done!

Alright so im getting my car painted right now and my uncles body shop. ill be posting pics of the progress for any of you interested in getting a paint job that live around whittier,bellflower bell garden etc etc.. its gonna cost me 2k he usually charges 3 - 3.5K. Well as soon as its done getting painted i want to start getting performance parts.i have stock exhaust manifolds =/. i have a 302 that was stroked to a 347 with a .500 lift cam(dont know what kind though =/) and a edelbrock 289 performer intake and a edelbrock 600 edelbrock carb.(4 bbl)
New: flowmaster 40 series mufflers, flat top pistons, forged crank, forged connecting rods, flywheel, and forged pistons(Kieth Black) dont know if any of that helps but how much HP should i be getting right now and how much should i be getting after new headers, intake manifold and AFR 185 heads.

Lose the performer and get an RPM or stealth. Your engine will thank you.

Second that. That engine is going to need to breathe, the Performer 289 is choking it at higher rpm's.

HP wise, we'd need to know compression and cam specs.

It seems kind of strange someone would go to the trouble and build a 347 and leave stock exhaust manifold and maybe stock heads on that engine. That sucker definately needs to breath! Hey, I was born in Whittier!
