Why don't you take it to the strip and find out? It's impossible to stand here and tell what kind of rear-wheel horsepower you will be making, and then it hardly even matters. The only thing that matters is the performance in the REAl situation, not while strapped to a design tool like a dyno.

I can tell you there is a lot of potential lost in your combination. Your heads and manifold are both VERY poor.

agreed, weak heads and not enough valve lift, a dual-pattern cam is better suited to flow-challenged heads.
A set of Dart 180's and a hydraulic roller are what the patient needs.
200cc runners are the biggest you should consider but you'll lose a lot of bottom-end torque.

You can really do alot with what you have with minor improvements that really worked good for me. Throw away that intake! It's been proven recently that the RPM Air gap intake (With 1" spacer plate) will out perform any single runer intake at every 100 rpm's increment through 6400 rpm and only looses 2-3 Horses on the top end. I have edelbrock performer rpm heads , they shouldn't perform much more than your heads, 305-525 comp cam (110 lsa) with a 750 holley DP and with 3500 stahl and 4:11 gear in a heavy 79 Z28 and has run best of 12.32 @ 110mph in street trim (Spray 150 shot and best of 11.72 @ 116.58 mph ). Our engines are real similar except cam and carb , you wouldn't beleive how much better your engine would run all through your rpm range with that intake...Try it ............
