what kind of setup??If its still got all the stock equipment, maybe170-180. headers, intake, and choice of carb has a good impact on the amount of hp

is it going back in a truck or car. because truck engine's come with a crappy low rpm cam, which greatly reduces high end power.

I put a cold air intake on my carburated 350. the power intrease is great. I got the single intake plenum from ebay for about 50 bucks and got the tubing and filter at autzone.
