how much horsepower?
Ive got a 1990 camaro 305 tbi. I'm switching over to carb and a few other goodies. I'm wondering how much HP will my new combinations make? Here is the list.
Heads from a 91 gta that have been ported and have new comp springs
Edelbrock torker 2 intake manifold
Holly 600 4bbl carb
14in holly filter case with k&n filter
3.42 posi rear.

Will you be changing out the cam and why a Torker 2 intake? I would go with the performer or performer RPM air gap intake.

Not changing the cam just yet. When I do I will be going with the lt1 cam, I've heard good things about those. I went with the torker because I heard itd give better performance when mashing the gas. Would the performer have been better? This is all going on to my stock lo3 motor

Re: how much horsepower?
Torker II is terrible, you won't like it, especially on a 'small' motor like a 305.
With a 600cfm Holley, the best intake for you would be either a Weiand 8120 or Edelbrock Performer EPS. They are designed for use with tamer combinations like the one you have (fairly mild cam, smaller cubic inches) with a squarebore style carb like your Holley. They also will not have hood clearance issues, as they are only a little taller than your TBI intake was, but being modern designs, will produce a noticeable amount more power and torque.
