L05, L98, LM1 shortblock questions

From what I understand the L98, LM1, and L05 use dished pistons. Assume all are in short block form. I plan on taking one and adding ported 305 TPI heads, LT1 Cam, Holley 670 TBI, headers, and a cat back.

How much horsepower would this yield?

L98 were a flat top piston i believe at least thats what my short block had in it hp depends on the heads, intake, cam, and comp ratio.... ect. the list can go on

that just means it will like that blower/turbo/n.o.s. better All jokes aside just depends on who built the shortblock and what they wanted to use.

TBI doesn't like blowers or turbos...

In stock form yeah, but with heads cam and exhaust it's a totally different story. Most of the people that have tried it here and posted their results were running stock heads and/or cam and/or exhaust... none of which are condusive to making bigger numbers.

Later,
