Check out the signature, what kind of HP numbers should I expect when I take it to a Dyno? I know different Dynos produce different numbers, I'm just curious. I plan on running a 75 or a 100 shot in the future. Thanks.

340 to 365 my guess. the lower compression will hurt power a bit.

At the flywheel. The compression is great for a pump gas/street car. That cam *may* hold you back a bit, being a single pattern, but 300 at the wheels is attainable with a little tuning. That's enough for 12's with some traction.
300 WHP...that sucks...ha. I was hoping for somewhere around 350 WHP. What about going to a larger Carb? Is there anything else I could change onteh top end to gain a little more?

300 rwhp= 350-360 flywheel, which is what most H/C/I kits advertise. You might gain a bit with a split pattern cam (more duration on the exhaust). The carb should be fine, if you do decide to go bigger, you won't need anything more than a 670 SA.
300 sounds about right...after you blow up this bad boy..its time to upgrade to the 351
I would love to, but due to the history of the car I want to be able to say it's the origional block.
My uncle was the origional owner, back in 1979. I gave him $300 in gas money to trailer it to me last summer from Texas. I have all documentation for the car: origional window sticker, all receipts and that geeky/cooooool Pace Car jacket...ha.
I'll have to save the 351 for another project.

worth some change then i wouldnt compromise it get a late model stang etc to have fun with, wasnt the pace car but had a buddy with a wicked 302 77' cobra baby scoots.
what size motor?... 302 i assume? hence the 77' cobra hehe
It was the 302, then I punched it .30 over.

Can you recomend a new cam? I'm willing to try anything shy of a whole rebuild to gain more power.....

I liked my Edelbrock Performer RPM: 224/234@.50, .498/.510 lift.
I would look for something with the duration around those levels, and a little more lift for your combo. Both Comp Cams and Crane Cams have their cataloques online.

So the lower the numbers the better?

Cams are usually advertised with 2 duration figures. The "high" one is reffered to as "advertised duration" and is the total amount that the cam has. The second, lower # is "duration at .50 thousandth lift", which is the more accurate of the 2 and will give you a much better idea of how the cam will operate.
The 280/280 duration you have listed in your sig. is "advertised duration". If you look up the specs for your cam, it will also tell you the duration@.50, which will be pretty short for your combo IMHO.
So what kind of numbers should I be looking at?
